BARs of size 2Gb and up can't possibly fit below 4Gb: Both the bottom of
the lower 2Gb range and the top of the higher 2Gb range have special
purpose. Don't even have them influence whether to (perhaps) relocate
low RAM.

If we wanted to fit e.g. multiple 1Gb BARs, it would likely be prudent
to similarly avoid low RAM relocation in the first place. Yet accounting
for things differently depending on how many large BARs there are would
require more intrusive code changes.

That said, I'm open to further lowering of the threshold. That'll
require different justification then, though.

Here you mention 2Gb BARs, yet the code below sets the maximum BAR
size supported below 4Gb to 1Gb.

I would be fine with defining this to an even lower number, like
256Mb, as to avoid as much as possible memory relocation in order to
make the MMIO hole bigger.

Is the above message now accurate?  Given the current code the low
MMIO could be expanded up to 2Gb, yet BAR relocation will happen
unconditionally once a 1Gb BAR is found.

I'm missing the part where hvmloader notifies QEMU of the possibly
expanded base and size memory PCI MMIO regions, so that those are
reflected in the PCI root complex registers?

Overall I think we could simplify the code by having a hardcoded 1Gb
PCI MMIO hole below 4Gb, fill it with all the 32bit BARs and
(re)locate all 64bit BARs above 4Gb (not that I'm requesting you to do
it here).

Thanks, Roger.

GPUs without resizable BARs tend to expose 256MiB on the BAR regardless
of the amount of internal VRAM, AFAIK. So IMO 256 MiB is not a totally
unmotivated number. I don't know which other PCIe devices might expose
such big BARs for comparison.

Cheers,
Alejandro

Hmm, I'm puzzled: There are no other BAR sizes between 1Gb and 2Gb.
Anything up to 1Gb continues to work as is, while everything 2Gb and
up has behavior changed.

As suggested in a post-commit-message remark, the main question then is
how to justify this.

Well, "all" may not be quite accurate anymore, yet would making it e.g.
"all applicable" really much more meaningful?

I don't understand this comment: I'm not changing the interaction
with qemu at all. Whatever the new calculation it'll be communicated
to qemu just as before.

I'm afraid that would not work very well with OSes which aren't 64-bit
BAR / PA aware (first and foremost non-PAE 32-bit ones). Iirc that's
the reason why it wasn't done like you suggest back at the time.

I think the justification is to avoid having to relocate memory in
order to attempt to make the hole below 4Gb larger.

That wasn't a complain about the patch, just me failing to see where
this is done.

There will still be a ~1Gb window < 4Gb, so quite a bit of space.

I'm unsure whether such OSes will have drivers to manage devices with
that huge BARs in the first place.

Thanks, Roger.

I would maybe name this `BAR_RELOCATE_THRESH, `HUGE_BAR` is too
generic IMO.

And also use 256Mb instead of 1GB, but just having a limit is good
enough, we can further tune it afterwards.

There's a comment above this that starts with:

"Relocate to high memory if the total amount of MMIO needed is more
than the low MMIO available."

I would slightly reword it to:

"Relocate to high memory if the total amount of MMIO needed is more
than the low MMIO available or BARs bigger that HUGE_BAR_THRESH are
present."

Thanks, Roger.

Upon further thinking about it, I'm now pretty convinced that any lowering
of the boundary would better be a separate change. Right here I'd like to
stick to just the technically implied boundary.

I see. Is there any such needed though? There's nothing root-complex-ish
in PIIX4 after all, for not knowing of PCIe yet. The only datasheet I
have readily available is for a slightly older variant of the 82371AB,
yet I can't spot any registers there which would need updating (to
inform qemu).

Yet not enough to fit a single 1Gb BAR.

Assuming at least basic functionality of gfx cards is backwards
compatible, I see nothing wrong with an old driver successfully attaching
to a modern card surfacing, say, a 256Mb BAR.

I'm afraid we need to be conservative here and keep configurations working
which in principle can work without using any 64-bit addresses.

BAR_RELOC_THRESH it is then.

As indicated in an earlier reply, I now firmly think that if we want to
do so, it wants doing separately / incrementally.

Hmm, yes, done.
