PCI memory mapping

[Renaud Barbier]

For information, I had a look at the Linux (6.11.3) PCI driver , the PCI bus (PCIe in my case) probing in drivers/pci/probe.c is limited by this function due to PCIe specification.
static int only_one_child(struct pci_bus *bus)
  {
          struct pci_dev *bridge = bus->self;

          /*
           * Systems with unusual topologies set PCI_SCAN_ALL_PCIE_DEVS so
           * we scan for all possible devices, not just Device 0.
           */
          if (pci_has_flag(PCI_SCAN_ALL_PCIE_DEVS))
                  return 0;

          /*
           * A PCIe Downstream Port normally leads to a Link with only Device
           * 0 on it (PCIe spec r3.1, sec 7.3.1).  As an optimization, scan
           * only for Device 0 in that situation.
           */
          if (bridge && pci_is_pcie(bridge) && pcie_downstream_port(bridge))
                  return 1;

          return 0;
  }

int pci_scan_slot(struct pci_bus *bus, int devfn)
  {
          struct pci_dev *dev;
          int fn = 0, nr = 0;

~         if (only_one_child(bus) && (devfn > 0)) {
+                 pr_err("XXX: %s one child devfn = %d\n", __func__, devfn);
                  return 0; /* Already scanned the entire slot */
+         }
