Holy cow, this is a mess (not your patch, but the existing split between common code and arch code). You showed one path above, but how am I supposed to know that *all* the paths make this association correctly? If all the paths do it, why isn't the association done in some common code to begin with? Is this telling us that the arch interface is designed wrong? No doubt there's some implicit knowledge, like "there's no way MSI can work at all unless the arch code makes this association," but I don't know enough about MSI to have that knowledge, and consequently I really can't convince myself that this patch is safe for everybody. > Also use __write_msi_msg() instead > of write_msi_msg() to avoid the redundant calls. I applied this part to pci/msi for v3.18 since it's unrelated. > Signed-off-by: Yijing Wang <wangyijing@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/pci/msi.c | 13 ++----------- > 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/pci/msi.c b/drivers/pci/msi.c > index d077749..e0916ad 100644 > --- a/drivers/pci/msi.c > +++ b/drivers/pci/msi.c > @@ -109,18 +109,9 @@ static void default_restore_msi_irq(struct pci_dev *dev, int irq) > { > struct msi_desc *entry; > > - entry = NULL; > - if (dev->msix_enabled) { > - list_for_each_entry(entry, &dev->msi_list, list) { > - if (irq == entry->irq) > - break; > - } > - } else if (dev->msi_enabled) { > - entry = irq_get_msi_desc(irq); > - } > - > + entry = irq_get_msi_desc(irq); > if (entry) > - write_msi_msg(irq, &entry->msg); > + __write_msi_msg(entry, &entry->msg); > } > > void __weak arch_restore_msi_irqs(struct pci_dev *dev) > -- > 1.7.1 > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
