When VFIO passes through a PCI device to a guest, it does not allow the guest to mmap BARs that are smaller than PAGE_SIZE unless it can reserve the rest of the page (see vfio_pci_probe_mmaps()). This is because a page might contain several small BARs for unrelated devices and a guest should not be able to access all of them. VFIO emulates guest accesses to non-mappable BARs, which is functional but slow. On systems with large page sizes, e.g., PowerNV with 64K pages, BARs are more likely to share a page and performance is more likely to be a problem. Add a weak function to set default alignment for all PCI devices. An arch can override it to force the PCI core to place memory BARs on their own pages.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
