I am trying to understand working of pci_resource_start function So I browsed code via cscope and searched for string pci_resource_start and got following in pci.h

 #define pci_resource_start(dev, bar)    ((dev)->resource[(bar)].start)

I am not able to understand how does this above macro works. How does it above macro gets appropriate base address register in configuration space?

最佳回答

The macro s purpose is merely to improve readability in source code, it does not cause any address to be retrieved. In fact, the address (denoted by the start member) has already been discovered earlier on when the PCI bus and/or device was scanned/initialized. ("Start" in this case also means "start of address range" rather than "begin doing something".) Details of this are most likely to be found in one of the files named pci.c.
