The PF BAR is initially sized based on VF BAR size [1]. So yeah - that's
the assumption for the initial state (prior to doing any resizing).
For VF PCI device BAR 0, it would be PF PCI device resource 7 (and it's
programmed using PCI SR-IOV extended capability - so slightly different
path then regular PCI BARs).
Note that this resource is completely independent from actual PF BAR 0
(resource 0), which is why I'm calling it "underlying resource" or
"reservation".

Exactly - it wouldn't fit, unless we resize the underlying resource as
well.
Which is what the successfull call to pci_resize_resource() with size =
2X, will do.

No - it is possible to resize the PF BAR as well.
In addition to adding pci_iov_vf_bar_set_size() /
pci_iov_vf_bar_get_size(), the series expands the pci_resize_resource()
function, so that it can accept IOV resources (PF BARs 7+, or
"underlying resource" for VF BAR).
The usage of pci_resize_resource() for IOV resources is the same as for
the regular PCI BARs, with the caller expected to release all the
resource prior to resizing it (as the bridge windows may need to be
reprogrammed).

It's not really a bug fix. Without the ability to control VF BAR size
independently of PF BAR size (via pci_iov_vf_bar_set_size()
/ pci_iov_vf_bar_get_size()), PF BAR size is always tied to the VF BAR
size and the total (max) number of VFs supported by the device, so
there's no need to check if the "nr_virtfn" will fit - as "nr_virtfn" is
guaranteed to be smaller than the total number of VFs supported by the
device.

The logic for res->parent isn't really changed - we are still failing VF
enabling if the resource is not assigned.
Previously we were incrementing resource counter if the resource is
assigned:
if (res->parent)
nres++;
Now, we're not incrementing the resource counter if the resource is not
assigned or if it is too small to fit all enabled VFs:
if (!res->parent || vf_bar_sz * nr_virtfn > resource_size(res))
continue;
I can split it into two conditions, if you think it would be clearer:
if (vf_bar_sz * nr_virtfn > resource_size(res))
continue;
if (res->parent)
nres++;
