Subject: [PATCH] x86/PCI: ignore Consumer/Producer bit in ACPI window descriptions
Date: Tue, 06 Apr 2010 13:24:08 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100406192408.14676.17106.stgit@bob.kio> (raw)
ACPI Address Space Descriptors (used in _CRS) have a Consumer/Producer
bit that is supposed to distinguish regions that are consumed directly
by a device from those that are forwarded ("produced") by a bridge.
But BIOSes have apparently not used this consistently, and Windows
seems to ignore it, so I think Linux should ignore it as well.
I can't point to any of these supposed broken BIOSes, but since we
now rely on _CRS by default, I think it's safer to ignore this bit
from the start.
Here are details of my experiments with how Windows handles it:
