If this goes into DT, I think we should be able to use dma-ranges for this purpose instead. Normally, 'dma-ranges' is for physical bus restrictions, but there's no reason it can't be used for policy or to express restrictions the firmware has enabled. > Signed-off-by: Claire Chang <tientzu@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > .../reserved-memory/reserved-memory.txt | 24 +++++++++++++++++++ > 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+) > > diff --git > a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/reserved-memory.txt > b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/reserved-memory.txt > index e8d3096d922c..44975e2a1fd2 100644 > --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/reserved-memory.txt > +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/reserved-memory.txt > @@ -51,6 +51,20 @@ compatible (optional) - standard definition > used as a shared pool of DMA buffers for a set of devices.

Those windows happen to be configured by dma-ranges. In any case, wouldn't you want to put the configuration in the PCI host node? Is there a usecase of restricting one PCIe device and not another?
