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: NMika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NBjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>
