I couldn't spot instances in core code (maybe I missed them), just
arch/arm and arch/hexagon:

[mark at leverpostej:~/src/linux]% git grep IO_SPACE_LIMIT -- arch | grep '&'
arch/arm/include/asm/io.h:#define __io(a)               __typesafe_io(PCI_IO_VIRT_BASE + ((a) & IO_SPACE_LIMIT))
arch/arm/include/asm/io.h:#define __io(a)               __typesafe_io((a) & IO_SPACE_LIMIT)
arch/hexagon/include/asm/io.h:  return readb(_IO_BASE + (port & IO_SPACE_LIMIT));
arch/hexagon/include/asm/io.h:  return readw(_IO_BASE + (port & IO_SPACE_LIMIT));
arch/hexagon/include/asm/io.h:  return readl(_IO_BASE + (port & IO_SPACE_LIMIT));
arch/hexagon/include/asm/io.h:  writeb(data, _IO_BASE + (port & IO_SPACE_LIMIT));
arch/hexagon/include/asm/io.h:  writew(data, _IO_BASE + (port & IO_SPACE_LIMIT));
arch/hexagon/include/asm/io.h:  writel(data, _IO_BASE + (port & IO_SPACE_LIMIT));

Are PCI I/O addresses expected to wrap in this manner? To me it seems
that masking addresses in this way just hides a bug if addresses are
provided that don't fit inside the I/O space -- we'll generate an
address inside the I/O space, but it could still be wrong.

If we do require IO_SPACE_LIMIT to function as a mask, then I think that
we should add an explicit check to asm/io.h for that:

/*
 * IO_SPACE_LIMIT needs to function as a mask.
 */
BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2(IO_SPACE_LIMIT + 1);

That should highlight potential problems if someone updates the I/O
space definitions in future. If core expects that IO_SPACE_LIMIT is
usable as a mask then that should probably live in asm-generic/io.h.

I'd very much prefer that we have the the PCI_IO_END defintion and
define PCI_IO_START in terms of that. That makes it easier to ensure
that the boot-time VA space layout dump and the page table dumper agree
with the actual VA space layout.

Are you asking for the I/O space to be shrunk to 16MB?

I can drop the 2MB padding if that's what you're suggesting?

Done.

Thanks,
Mark.
