System BIOS sometimes allocates extra bus space for hotplug-capable PCIe root/downstream ports. This space is needed if the device plugged to the port will have more hotplug-capable downstream ports. A good example of this is Thunderbolt. Each Thunderbolt device contains a PCIe switch and one or more hotplug-capable PCIe downstream ports where the daisy chain can be extended. Currently Linux only allocates minimal bus space to make sure all the enumerated devices barely fit there. The BIOS reserved extra space is not taken into consideration at all. Because of this we run out of bus space pretty quickly when more PCIe devices are attached to hotplug downstream ports in order to extend the chain. Modify the PCI core so we distribute the available BIOS allocated bus space equally between hotplug-capable bridges to make sure there is enough bus space for extending the hierarchy later on. Update kernel docs of the affected functions. Signed-off-by: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
