Now we use the IORESOURCE_STARTALIGN to identify bridge resources in __assign_resources_sorted(). That's quite fragile. We may also set flag IORESOURCE_STARTALIGN for SR-IOV resources in some cases, for example, using the option "noresize" of parameter "pci=resource_alignment". In this patch, we try to use a more robust way to identify bridge resources. Signed-off-by: Yongji Xie <redacted>Reviewed-by: Gavin Shan <redacted> Yongji, I think this doesn't have to be part of this series, meaning it can be sent or merged separately.
Seems like I give a wrong example in my changelog. The parameter "pci=resource_alignment" would not set flag IORESOURCE_STARTALIGN for SR-IOV resources as I replied to you in previous patch. So this patch has nothing to do with this series now, I will remove it as you suggested. Thanks, Yongji
