Tomasz, Sebastian, and some Proxmox users reported problems initializing ixgbe NICs. I think the problem is that ECAM space described in the ACPI MCFG table is not reserved via a PNP0C02 _CRS method as required by the PCI Firmware spec (r3.3, sec 4.1.2), but it *is* included in the PNP0A03 host bridge _CRS as part of the MMIO aperture. If we allocate space for a PCI BAR, we're likely to allocate it from that ECAM space, which obviously cannot work. This could happen for any device, but in the ixgbe case it happens because it's an SR-IOV device and the BIOS didn't allocate space for the VF BARs, so Linux reallocated the bridge window leading to ixgbe and put it on top of the ECAM space. From Tomasz' system: PCI: MMCONFIG for domain 0000 [bus 00-ff] at [mem 0x80000000-0x8fffffff] (base 0x80000000) PCI: MMCONFIG at [mem 0x80000000-0x8fffffff] not reserved in ACPI motherboard resources pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x80000000-0xfbffffff window] pci 0000:00:01.1: PCI bridge to [bus 02-03] pci 0000:00:01.1: bridge window [mem 0xfb900000-0xfbbfffff] pci 0000:02:00.0: [8086:10fb] type 00 class 0x020000 # ixgbe pci 0000:02:00.0: reg 0x10: [mem 0xfba80000-0xfbafffff 64bit] pci 0000:02:00.0: VF(n) BAR0 space: [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff 64bit] (contains BAR0 for 64 VFs) pci 0000:02:00.0: BAR 7: no space for [mem size 0x00100000 64bit] # VF BAR 0 pci_bus 0000:00: No. 2 try to assign unassigned res pci 0000:00:01.1: resource 14 [mem 0xfb900000-0xfbbfffff] released pci 0000:00:01.1: BAR 14: assigned [mem 0x80000000-0x806fffff] pci 0000:02:00.0: BAR 0: assigned [mem 0x80000000-0x8007ffff 64bit] pci 0000:02:00.0: BAR 7: assigned [mem 0x80204000-0x80303fff 64bit] # VF BAR 0 Fixes: |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
