PCI: allow assignment of memory resources with a specified alignment
This patch allows memory resources to be assigned with a specified alignment at boot-time or run-time. The patch is useful when we use PCI pass-through, because page-aligned memory resources are required to securely share PCI resources with guest drivers. If you want to assign the resource at boot time, please set "pci=resource_alignment=" boot parameter. This is format of "pci=resource_alignment=" boot parameter: [<order of align>@][<domain>:]<bus>:<slot>.<func>[; ...] Specifies alignment and device to reassign aligned memory resources. If <order of align> is not specified, PAGE_SIZE is used as alignment. PCI-PCI bridge can be specified, if resource windows need to be expanded. This is example: pci=resource_alignment=20@07:00.0;18@0f:00.0;00:1d.7 If you want to assign the resource at run-time, please set "/sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment" file, and hot-remove the device and hot-add the device. For this purpose, fakephp or PCI hotplug interfaces can be used. The format of "/sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment" file is the same with boot parameter. You can use "," instead of ";". For example: # cd /sys/bus/pci # echo -n 20@12:00.0 > resource_alignment # echo 1 > devices/0000:12:00.0/remove # echo 1 > rescan Reviewed-by: NAlex Chiang <achiang@hp.com> Reviewed-by: NYu Zhao <yu.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NYuji Shimada <shimada-yxb@necst.nec.co.jp> Signed-off-by: NJesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>
