This series is against "next" branch in Bjorn's repo:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git
Currently many device drivers need contiguously call functions
pci_enable_msix() for MSI-X or pci_enable_msi_block() for MSI
in a loop until success or failure. This update generalizes
this usage pattern and introduces pcim_enable_msi*() family
helpers.
As result, device drivers do not have to deal with tri-state
return values from pci_enable_msix() and pci_enable_msi_block()
functions directly and expected to have more clearer and straight
code.
So i.e. the request loop described in the documentation...
int foo_driver_enable_msix(struct foo_adapter *adapter,
int nvec)
{
while (nvec >= FOO_DRIVER_MINIMUM_NVEC) {
rc = pci_enable_msix(adapter->pdev,
adapter->msix_entries,
nvec);
if (rc > 0)
nvec = rc;
else
return rc;
}
return -ENOSPC;
}
...would turn into a single helper call....
rc = pcim_enable_msix_range(adapter->pdev,
adapter->msix_entries,
nvec,
FOO_DRIVER_MINIMUM_NVEC);
Device drivers with more specific requirements (i.e. a number of
MSI-Xs which is a multiple of a certain number within a specified
range) would still need to implement the loop using the two old
functions.
It is fair to say the proposal in v1 ("Re-design MSI/MSI-X interrupts
enablement pattern")is scrapped. Thus, I do not clarify what are the
changes since v1 - the whole v2 series could be
considered as completely new.
Device driver updates (patches 12-29) are provided to clarify the
change and expected to get reviews in follow-up post(s) when/if
patch 12 ("PCI/MSI: Introduce pcim_enable_msi*() family helpers")
is accepted.
Patches 1,2 - ACK'ed tweaks for s390 architecture
Patches 3,4 - fixes for PowerPC pSeries platform
Patches 5-12 - fixes, tweaks and changes of the generic MSI code
Patches 12-29 - example updates of few device drivers
The tree could be found in "pci-next-msi-v2" branch in repo:
