Reading + each file exposes the bitmap of available resource sizes: + + # cat resource1_resize + 00000000000001c0 + + The bitmap represents supported resource sizes for the BAR, + where bit0 = 1MB, bit1 = 2MB, bit2 = 4MB, etc. In the above + example the device supports 64MB, 128MB, and 256MB BAR sizes. + + When writing the file, the user provides the bit position of + the desired resource size, for example: + + # echo 7 > resource1_resize + + This indicates to set the size value corresponding to bit 7, + 128MB. The resulting size is 2 ^ (bit# + 20). This definition + matches the PCIe specification of this capability. + + In order to make use of resource resizing, all PCI drivers must + be unbound from the device and peer devices under the same + parent bridge may need to be soft removed. In the case of + VGA devices, writing a resize value will remove low level + console drivers from the device. Raw users of pci-sysfs + resourceN attributes must be terminated prior to resizing. + Success of the resizing operation is not guaranteed. |
