      PCI: boot parameter to avoid expansion ROM memory allocation · bb71ad88
      Gary Hade 提交于
      Contention for scarce PCI memory resources has been growing
      due to an increasing number of PCI slots in large multi-node
      systems.  The kernel currently attempts by default to
      allocate memory for all PCI expansion ROMs so there has
      also been an increasing number of PCI memory allocation
      failures seen on these systems.  This occurs because the
      BIOS either (1) provides insufficient PCI memory resource
      for all the expansion ROMs or (2) provides adequate PCI
      memory resource for expansion ROMs but provides the
      space in kernel unexpected BIOS assigned P2P non-prefetch
      windows.
      
      The resulting PCI memory allocation failures may be benign
      when related to memory requests for expansion ROMs themselves
      but in some cases they can occur when attempting to allocate
      space for more critical BARs.  This can happen when a successful
      expansion ROM allocation request consumes memory resource
      that was intended for a non-ROM BAR.  We have seen this
      happen during PCI hotplug of an adapter that contains a
      P2P bridge where successful memory allocation for an
      expansion ROM BAR on device behind the bridge consumed
      memory that was intended for a non-ROM BAR on the P2P bridge.
      In all cases the allocation failure messages can be very
      confusing for users.
      
      This patch provides a new 'pci=norom' kernel boot parameter
      that can be used to disable the default PCI expansion ROM memory
      resource allocation.  This provides a way to avoid the above
      described issues on systems that do not contain PCI devices
      for which drivers or user-level applications depend on the
      default PCI expansion ROM memory resource allocation behavior.
