Hi Yijing,
DMAR interrupt doesn't make use of msi_desc, so has no
dependency on msi_list.
Actually there are two levels of generic MSI sharing. The first
level is to share common irq_chip/irqdomain code, such as HPET, DMAR and
HT_IRQ. The second level is to share msi_desc, such as some device
on ARM side as you have mentioned.
With this patch set applied, we achieve level one sharing. For
level two sharing, we need to move msi_list into struct device, refactor
struct msi_desc, and provide a generic pci_enable_msix_range alike
user interfaces. I'm still working on this part, so we could cooperate
with each other.
Thanks!
Gerry
