/proc/iomem shows multiple memory maps


Greetings! We have a single Intel NIC card attached that lspci lists as below and NIC driver is 'ixgbe'. The /proc/iomem shows multiple memory mapped for ther driver ixgbe, 81:00.0, and 81:00.1. I believe the memory is assigned only for ports(81:00.0 and 81:00.1). Could you please make me understanding why different allocations with duplicates. TIA.

1.) lspci shows one NIC with two ports.
81:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)
81:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)


2.) /proc/iomem shows multiple entries for that NIC.
3355443200 to 3372220415 bytes (3200 to 3215 Mb) - ixgbe <-- 15 Mb
3372220416 to 3388997631 bytes (3216 to 3231 Mb) - ixgbe <-- 15 Mb
3388997632 to 3389014015 bytes (3232 to 3232 Mb) - ixgbe <-- 0 Mb
3389014016 to 3389030399 bytes (3232 to 3232 Mb) - ixgbe <-- 0 Mb


355443200 to 3390046207 bytes (3200 to 3232 Mb) - PCI Bus 0000:81 <-- 32 Mb

Niantic cards support multiple VFs for I/O virtualization.

Hi, Thanks for reply. Would like to know why there is discripencies // different allocations, 30 Mb for ixgbe driver, 32 Mb for 0000:81, 15 Mb for 0000:81:00.0, and 15 Mb for 0000:81:00.1. Summing up, the NIC card takes 92 Mb(30 + 32 + 15 + 15)? I am confused about different allocations for a single NIC. Can you please make me understanding.
