The list of patches provides querying facility to all services drivers. They can query any other service, to see if it is active/registered. This is useful when multiple service drivers do not want to race for actions based on service interrupt trigger. for e.g. if both AER and DPC are triggering, AER should not race since DPC is going to bring down the link and all the devices beneath, and going to recover HW. Another example; If hot plug service is not active DPC can do enumeration. Changes Since v1: Sinan's comment implemented. Oza Pawandeep (4): PCI: Add port service list node for pci_dev. PCI/portdrv: Add/Remove port services to the list PCI/portdrv: Implement interface to query the registered service PCI/AER: Dont do recovery when DPC is enabled drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv_core.c | 33 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/pci/pcie/portdrv_core.c | 39 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/pci/probe.c | 1 + include/linux/pci.h | 2 ++ include/linux/pcieport_if.h | 4 +++- 5 files changed, 78 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) -- Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies, Inc. as an affiliate of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. is a member of the Code Aurora Forum, a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
