I'm going to reiterate what I said last time: Why do we need this?
[Suravee] Marc, I understand what you described last time but I think
there is one point that missing here. See below.
So far, we have two MSI-capable controllers on their way upstream:
GICv2m and GICv3. Both are perfectly capable of handling more than a
single MSI per device.
[Suravee] I am aware of this.
So why should we cater for this? My gut feeling is that we should just
have:
int arch_setup_msi_irqs(struct pci_dev *dev, int nvec, int type)
{
struct msi_desc *entry;
int ret;
/*
* So far, all our MSI controllers are capable of handling more
* than a single MSI per device. Should we encounter less
* capable devices, we'll consider doing something special for
* them.
*/
list_for_each_entry(entry, &dev->msi_list, list) {
ret = arch_setup_msi_irq(dev, entry);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
if (ret > 0)
return -ENOSPC;
}
return 0;
}
and nothing else. Your driver should be able to retrieve the number of
MSI needed by the device, and allocate them. GICv3 manages it, and so
should GICv2m.
[Suravee] Multi-MSI and MSI-x are not the same. For MSI-X, you can treat
each of the MSI separately since it MSI-X capability structure has a
table specific for each one of them. For Multi-MSI, there is only one
MSI capability structure which control all of them, and you need to
program the "multiple-message enable" field with the encoding for
"power-of-two", and therefore must be in contiguous range.
Your logic above is what the standard MSI-x setup code is using. It is
not handling of how many it can allocate all at once.
As for sharing the logic b/w GICv2m and GICv3, unless they are sharing
the same common data structure (e.g. the struct v2m which contans
msi_chip), and the allocation function (e.g. generic
gic_alloc_msi_irqs()), you pretty much need to do this separately since
we need to walk the msi_chip back to its container structure.
I am not saying this cannot be done, but we need to work out the detail
together b/w GICv2m and GICv3.
Thanks,
Suravee
