So my earlier versions just passed in the affinity mask and left all the mapping in the core. This doesn't really work anymore with the sibling aware code so I had to add a method. That being said there are some drivers that might want slightly different mappings. For example skd (if converted to blk-mq) has MSI-X vectors for it's up to four queues, but it also has MSI-X vectors for misc book keeping before those, so we'd need a version of our PCI mapping that adds an offset to add to queue number when assining the MSI-X vectors. That being said I structured the map_queues interface so it can't do anything crazy - it can just build up the cpu to queue mapping array so there isn't exactly a whole lot of crazy things a driver could do. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
