[PATCH 4/5] PCI, MSI: Enable multiple MSIs with pci_enable_msi_block_auto()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The new function pci_enable_msi_block_auto() tries to allocate maximum
possible number of MSIs up to the number the device supports. It
generalizes a pattern when pci_enable_msi_block() contiguously called
until it succeeds or fails.

Opposite to pci_enable_msi_block() which takes the number of MSIs to
allocate as a input parameter, pci_enable_msi_block_auto() could be used
by device drivers to obtain the number of assigned MSIs.

The function could also be used by device drivers which do not care
about the exact number of assigned MSIs.

+
+This variation on pci_enable_msi() call allows a device driver to request
+the maximum possible number of MSIs.  The MSI specification only allows
+interrupts to be allocated in powers of two, up to a maximum of 2^5 (32).
+
+If this function returns 0, it has succeeded in allocating as many
+interrupts as the device supports.
+
+If this function returns a positive number, it indicates that it has
+succeeded, but the number of allocated interrupts is less than the number
+of interrupts the device supports. The returned value in this case is the
+number of allocated interrupts.
+
+In both cases above, the function enables MSI on this device and updates
+dev->irq to be the lowest of the new interrupts assigned to it. The other
+interrupts assigned to the device are in the range dev->irq to dev->irq +
+number of allocated interrupts - 1.
+
+If the device driver needs to know the number of allocated interrupts it
+can pass the pointer count where that number is stored. If the device driver
+has other means to obtain that number or does not need it, NULL pointer can
+be passed instead.
+
+If this function returns a negative number, it indicates an error and the
+driver should not attempt to request any more MSI interrupts for this
+device.

 This function should be used to undo the effect of pci_enable_msi() or
-pci_enable_msi_block().  Calling it restores dev->irq to the pin-based
-interrupt number and frees the previously allocated message signaled
-interrupt(s).  The interrupt may subsequently be assigned to another
-device, so drivers should not cache the value of dev->irq.

 Before calling this function, a device driver must always call free_irq()
 on any interrupt for which it previously called request_irq().
