Hi Eric, just played a bit with the code and I could make things easier by the following change: On 29/06/15 16:37, Eric Auger wrote: > Add a new kvm_extended_msi struct to store the additional device ID > specific to ARM. kvm_kernel_irq_routing_entry union now encompasses > this new struct. > > Signed-off-by: Eric Auger <eric.auger@xxxxxxxxxx> > > --- > > RFC -> PATCH: > - reword the commit message after change in first patch (uapi) > --- > include/linux/kvm_host.h | 8 ++++++++ > 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/include/linux/kvm_host.h b/include/linux/kvm_host.h > index ad45054..e1c1c0d 100644 > --- a/include/linux/kvm_host.h > +++ b/include/linux/kvm_host.h > @@ -304,6 +304,13 @@ struct kvm_s390_adapter_int { > u32 adapter_id; > }; > > +struct kvm_extended_msi { > + u32 address_lo; /* low 32 bits of msi message address */ > + u32 address_hi; /* high 32 bits of msi message address */ > + u32 data; /* 16 bits of msi message data */ > + u32 devid; /* out-of-band device ID */ > +}; > + I got rid of this structure at all, instead using: @@ -317,6 +324,7 @@ struct kvm_kernel_irq_routing_entry { } irqchip; - struct msi_msg msi; + struct { + struct msi_msg msi; + u32 devid; + }; struct kvm_s390_adapter_int adapter; }; struct hlist_node link; }; This re-uses the existing MSI fields in struct msi_msg, so all the extra code you added in the next patches to set address and data could be skipped. If needed we can add a flags field here as well to avoid that extra type. That simplified a lot for me.
