Subject: Reservation of resources shared by two PCI devices
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2009 17:04:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3bpmfhkbj.fsf@intrepid.localdomain> (raw)
Hi,
I have a PCI card with a bridge and two devices behind it.
There is a custom circuitry connected to the first PCI device,
controlling operation of both devices.
The IO and possibly MMIO resources used for controlling the custom
circuitry (part of device #0 registers) are not used for other purposes.
Access is controlled by a spin lock.
What's the best way to handle IO/MMIO resource reservations of this
shared part of device #0?
Should I switch away from pci_register_driver()?
