Fam Zheng noticed that pci shutdown disables msi and msix of a device. This
was intended to fix kexec with fusion devices but is no longer necessary, and
can in theory be harmful.
See individual patches for the detailed explanation.
Please review, and consider for 4.2.
Eric, I would especially appreciate your feedback - I did my best
to update the commit logs with answers to questions you raised
on v5.
changes from v5:
rebased on top of pci/msi
fixed commit log, including comments by Bjorn
and adding explanation to address comments/questions by Eric
dropped stable Cc, this patch does not seem to qualify for stable
changes from v4:
Yijing Wang <wangyijing@xxxxxxxxxx> noted that
early fixups rely on pci_msi_off.
Split out the functionality and move off the
required part to run early during pci_device_setup.
Changes from v3:
fix a copy-and-paste error in
pci: drop some duplicate code
other patches are unchanged
drop Cc stable for now
Changes from v2:
move code from probe to device enumeration
add patches to unexport pci_msi_off
Michael S. Tsirkin (2):
PCI/MSI: Don't disable MSI/MSI-X at shutdown
PCI/MSI: Make pci_msi_shutdown(), pci_msix_shutdown() static
