PCI driver doesn't assign memory behind bridge

Question

I have device on bus PCI 09 behind bus 08:01 like this:

0000:08:01.0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:07:00.0/0000:08:01.0/0000:09:00.0

My device in bus 09 off and after reboot CPU, I turn on device on bus 09. So, I rescan PCI bus 0000:08:01.0. But it doesn't find my device.

bus 08:01 after reboot:

root@localhost:~# lspci -s 0000\:08\:01.0 -v

I noticed there isn't "Prefetchable memory behind bridge" field like this:

CPU only find device in bus 09 when I turn on device before reboot. Is there any way for the CPU to find the device on PCI bus after reboot? Or how can I assign memory behind bridge on bus 0000:08:01.0 without device when CPU boots?

Answer 1

thank for your answer, I'm just a newbie linux user. I tried rescan bus PCI after boot but not found the device. But in my project, I see an application on system using kernel 4.14 can rescan device on bus PCI and found it after reboot without on device initially.

pci 0000:02:03.0:   bridge window [mem 0xc7e00000-0xc96fffff 64bit pref]

I'm sure in bus 5, there is a device ready to communicate with CPU but CPU doesn't find it when boots. But when I rescan bus 02:03 and use bcm_ll_pcie_init, the device found.

After rescan

You can see the device on PCI bus 05, 0000:05:00.0: [14e4:6862] found. I also tried rescan like that in my system but it doesn't work, the device not found. But I noticed my CPU doesn't have "Prefetchable memory behind bridge" like that working system as my post. What do you think about it?
