pci-epf-test advertises the doorbell target to the RC as a BAR number and an offset, and the RC rings the doorbell with a single DWORD MMIO write. Some doorbell backends may report that the doorbell target is already exposed via a platform-owned fixed BAR (db_msg[0].bar/offset). In that case, reuse the pre-exposed window and do not reprogram the BAR with pci_epc_set_bar(). Also honor db_msg[0].irq_flags when requesting the doorbell IRQ, and only restore the original BAR mapping on disable if pci-epf-test programmed it.

Thank you very much for testing, and apologies for not being able to test on RK3588 on my side right now.

+ + if (size_add(offset, sizeof(u32)) > epf->bar[bar].size) + goto err_doorbell_cleanup;It turns out that this check is the reason for it still failing. You see, for a BAR that is marked as BAR_RESERVED, pci-epf-test will not allocate backing memory, so epf->bar[bar].size will be 0. If I removed this check, I could get the test case to pass. As I suggested in my previous email, perhaps this check is better suited in pci_epf_alloc_doorbell(). (As a DWORD alignment check inside pci_epf_alloc_doorbell(). pci_epf_alloc_doorbell() could itself return error if the doorbell is not DWORD aligned.)
Yes, and I mentioned there I would reconsider this when respinning this feature series. For reference: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/jcjson6zedvhkpctwzfao2wfaaujtdfqsnnm3k25e2vpz2evf4@hbsegnyevisu/ (local) I hadn't noticed the bar.size==0 possibility at that time. I agree that this check is better placed in pci_epf_alloc_doorbell(). I'll respin accordingly. Thanks again for the testing and review, Koichiro
That way, you could remove this check from pci_epf_test_enable_doorbell(), and we don't need to care about epf->bar[bar].size. Kind regards, Niklas
