Hi Bjorn,
Thank you for reviewing my patch and providing detailed feedback!
I agree with your observation regarding the mismatch left between
`PCI_VNDR_HEADER` and `PCI_VSEC_HDR_LEN_SHIFT`. Based on your suggestion,
I plan to address this by:
1. Removing `PCI_VSEC_HDR_LEN_SHIFT` entirely.
2. Updating the VFIO PCI code to use `PCI_VNDR_HEADER_LEN()` instead,
ensuring consistent naming and functionality.
3. Justifying the removal of these macros (`PCI_VSEC_HDR` and `PCI_VSEC_HDR_LEN_SHIFT`)
in `pci_regs.h`, despite it being part of `include/uapi/`. As you noted,
this is a niche case, and the impact on userspace should be minimal.
I’ll send an updated patch shortly, incorporating these changes and
testing to ensure everything works as expected.
Thanks again for your insights! Please let me know if there’s anything
else I should address in the revised patch.
Best regards,
Dongdong Zhang
