But it seems pci-sysfs.c only creates sysfs node and supports the read/write method without initializing the values. > If want to initialize the value of gsi here. An approach to initialize it is to call acpi_pci_irq_lookup to get gsi number when the first time it is read? Hm, maybe, I don't really have much experience with sysfs, so don't know how nodes are usually initialized. > > > > Maybe my understanding is incorrect, but given the suggested placement > > in acpi_pci_irq_enable() I think the device would need to bind the > > interrupt in order for the gsi node to appear on sysfs? > No, gsi sysfs has existed there, in acpi_pci_irq_enable is to initialize the value of gsi. > > > > > Would the current approach work if the device is assigned to pciback > > on the kernel command line, and thus never owned by any driver in > > dom0? > If assigned to pciback, I think pciback will enable the device, and then acpi_pci_irq_enable will be called, and then the gsi will be initialized. So, current can work. This needs checking to be sure, I'm certainly not that familiar. You would need to at least test that it works properly when the device is hidden using xen-pciback.hide=(SBDF) in the Linux kernel command line. Thanks, Roger.
