Toggling memory enable is free on bare metal, but potentially expensive in virtualized environments as the device MMIO spaces are added and removed from the VM address space, including DMA mapping of those spaces through the IOMMU where peer-to-peer is supported. Currently memory decode is disabled around sizing each individual BAR, even for SR-IOV BARs while VF Enable is cleared. This can be better optimized for virtual environments by sizing a set of BARs at once, stashing the resulting mask into an array, while only toggling memory enable once. This also naturally improves the SR-IOV path as the caller becomes responsible for any necessary decode disables while sizing BARs, therefore SR-IOV BARs are sized relying only on the VF Enable rather than toggling the PF memory enable in the command register.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
