When contiguous windows are coalesced by pci_register_host_bridge(), the
second resource is expanded to include the first, and the first is
invalidated and consequently not added to the bus. However, it remains in
the resource hierarchy. For example, these windows:
fec00000-fec7ffff : PCI Bus 0000:00
fec80000-fecbffff : PCI Bus 0000:00
are coalesced into this, where the first resource remains in the tree with
start/end zeroed out:
00000000-00000000 : PCI Bus 0000:00
fec00000-fecbffff : PCI Bus 0000:00
In some cases (e.g. the Xen scratch region), this causes future calls to
allocate_resource() to choose an inappropriate location which the caller
cannot handle.
Fix by releasing the zeroed-out resource and removing it from the resource
hierarchy.

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.
