Some host bridges advertise non-prefetchable memory windows that are
entirely located below 4GB but are marked as 64-bit address memory.

Since commit 9d57e61bf723 ("of/pci: Add IORESOURCE_MEM_64 to resource
flags for 64-bit memory addresses"), the OF PCI range parser takes a
stricter view and treats 64-bit address ranges as advertised while
before such ranges were treated as 32-bit.

A PCI root port modelled as a PCI-to-PCI bridge cannot forward 64-bit
non-prefetchable memory ranges. As a result, the change in behaviour
due to the commit causes failure to allocate 32-bit BAR from a 64-bit
non-prefetchable window.

In order to not break platforms where non-prefetchable memory ranges
lie entirely below 4GB, clear the 64-bit flag.
I don't think we should care about the address width DT supplies for a
host bridge window.  Prior to 9d57e61bf723, I don't think we *did*
care because of_bus_pci_get_flags() threw away that information.

My proposal for a commit log, including information about the problem
report and a "Fixes:" tag:

  Alexandru and Qu reported this resource allocation failure on
  ROCKPro64 v2 and ROCK Pi 4B, both based on the RK3399:

    pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0xfa000000-0xfbdfffff 64bit]
    pci 0000:00:00.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01]
    pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 14: no space for [mem size 0x00100000]
    pci 0000:01:00.0: reg 0x10: [mem 0x00000000-0x00003fff 64bit]

  "BAR 14" is the PCI bridge's 32-bit non-prefetchable window, and our
  PCI allocation code isn't smart enough to allocate it in a host
  bridge window marked as 64-bit, even though this should work fine.

  A DT host bridge description includes the windows from the CPU
  address space to the PCI bus space.  On a few architectures
  (microblaze, powerpc, sparc), the DT may also describe PCI devices
  themselves, including their BARs.

  Before 9d57e61bf723 ("of/pci: Add IORESOURCE_MEM_64 to resource
  flags for 64-bit memory addresses"), of_bus_pci_get_flags() ignored
  the fact that some DT addresses described 64-bit windows and BARs.
  That was a problem because the virtio virtual NIC has a 32-bit BAR
  and a 64-bit BAR, and the driver couldn't distinguish them.
Many thanks for demystifying the motivation for 9d57e61bf723. Not being
familiar with the usage of DT to describe PCI devices I was missing this
context.
  9d57e61bf723 set IORESOURCE_MEM_64 for those 64-bit DT ranges, which
  fixed the virtio driver.  But it also set IORESOURCE_MEM_64 for host
  bridge windows, which exposed the fact that the PCI allocator isn't
  smart enough to put 32-bit resources in those 64-bit windows.

  Clear IORESOURCE_MEM_64 from host bridge windows since we don't need
  that information.

Thank you for commit log - without all the pieces I was struggling to
clearly describe the details. And I missed the appropriate tags as
well. I've updated the commit log based on your suggestion.

Why do we need to check IORESOURCE_PREFETCH, IORESOURCE_MEM_64, and
upper_32_bits()?  If I understand this correctly, prior to
9d57e61bf723, IORESOURCE_MEM_64 was *never* set here.  Isn't something
like this sufficient?

  } else if (resource_type(res) == IORESOURCE_MEM) {

Based on the discussion in the original thread[0], I was working with
the assumption that we don't want to lose the IORESOURCE_MEM_64 flag
other than in the problem scenario, i.e., non-prefetchable memory below
4GB.

You suggestion is simpler and also solves the issue by effectively
reverting the impact of 9d57e61bf723 on BAR allocation. If there are no
objections I will take this approach for the next update.

To aid future readers I will also add the following comment -

    /*
     * PCI allocation cannot correctly allocate 32-bit non-prefetchable BAR
     * in host bridge windows marked as 64-bit.
     */
I'm not sure we need a warning either.  We didn't warn before
9d57e61bf723, and there's nothing the user needs to do anyway.
The warning was a nudge (probably too subtle) to get the user to upgrade
their DT to drop the 64-bit marker on the host bridge window. With your
suggestion, the DT change is not needed anymore - though it may still be
worth dropping the 64-bit marker.

Thanks,
Punit

I'm certainly not a DT expert, and Rob would know better.

The doc I'm looking at ([1]), says in sec 2.2.1.1 that for an address
in 32-bit-address Memory Space, the high-order address bits "hh...hh
must be zero" and only the 32 bits in "ll...ll" are usable.

That suggests to me that the DT probably *should* use 64-bit-address
Memory Space for things that don't fit in 32 bits.  But when we use
such an address for PCI host bridge windows, I don't think the
distinction is useful, so I think we should just drop the 64-bit
indication silently.
