            Bug ID: 254956
           Summary: Assertion fails when passing-through PCI device with
                    large memory BAR
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.0-STABLE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bhyve
          Assignee: virtualization@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: crowston@protonmail.com

Passing-through a PCI device with a large BAR (for instance, a GPU) fails w=
hen
the 0xfff... probe address is assigned to the BAR: bhyve exists with an
assertion failed such as

Assertion failed: (error =3D=3D 0), function modify_bar_registration, file
/usr/src/usr.sbin/bhyve/pci_emul.c, line 501.

During boot the system assigns the BAR a temporary address such that addr +
size =3D 0xffffffff. It immediately restores the previous address. This is =
not a
problem for most PCI devices. However, when passing through a GPU, the
temporary memory region is large enough to occupy space already taken by the
high performance time counter. This causes the assertion to fail at run tim=
e.

I propose that when a probing address such as this is assigned to the BAR, =
we
do not attempt to intercept it at all. My proposal is here:
