Tejun,

thanks for your review and answer.

I will split the patch.

I slightly changed the check and added a comment that explains that's
going on in the function. This is the new version:

static int ahci_init_msix(struct pci_dev *pdev, unsigned int n_ports,
			  struct ahci_host_priv *hpriv)
{
	int rc, nvec;
	struct msix_entry entry = {};

	/* check if msix is supported */
	nvec = pci_msix_vec_count(pdev);
	if (nvec <= 0)
		return 0;

	/*
	 * Per-port msix interrupts are not supported. Assume single
	 * port interrupts for:
	 *
	 *  n_ports == 1, or
	 *  nvec < n_ports.
	 *
	 * We also need to check for n_ports != 0 which is implicitly
	 * covered here since nvec > 0.
	 */
	if (n_ports != 1 && nvec >= n_ports)
		return -ENOSYS;

	/*
	 * There can exist more than one vector (e.g. for error
	 * detection or hdd hotplug). Then the first vector is used,
	 * all others are ignored. Only enable the first entry here
	 * (entry.entry = 0).
	 */
	rc = pci_enable_msix_exact(pdev, &entry, 1);
	if (rc < 0)
		return rc;

	return 1;
}

Note that the check changed to n_ports != 1 to also cover the case
n_ports == 0 which should return -ENOSYS.

I didn't want to print a warning in case -ENOSYS for backward
compatability. Only if msi-x code fails there is a message, see
__ahci_init_interrupts(). In any other case the behaviour is as
before, thus no message is printed.

For n_ports > 1 && nvec >= n_ports we need to assume per-port
interrupts. There are enough vectors for all ports then.

I started working implementing this.

Will send an updated patch set once finished.

Thanks,
