Can you configure one of the two windows as prefetchable for improved performance?The new huge window will be prefetchable.The DT marks it as non-prefetchable, so the kernel will now try to allocate space for non-prefetchable BARs from this area, which is a bug. If the second memory window is always prefetchable, you have to mark it accordingly in DT, to prevent it from being used for normal 64 bit BARs.
Forget what I wrote here, I just remembered that 64-bit BARs are by definition prefetchable. You should still mark the range accordingly in DT for correct operation, but it won't be used for non-prefetchable 64-bit BARs if you don't because they do not exist. Arnd
