+static u8 g_translation_pre_enabled;
Hi Zhenhua,
I haven't checked patch one by one, am going through the code flow.
About g_translation_pre_enabled, I don't think it's necessary to define
it as a global variable. Both its assignment and judgement are in
init_dmars(). In this situation a local variable translation_pre_enabled
in init_dmars() is enough.
You can assign value to it here:
iommu_check_pre_te_status(iommu);
if (iommu->pre_enabled_trans) {
translation_pre_enabled = 1;
...
}
Thanks
Baoquan
Hi Baoquan,
This variable is only be used in this file, for it is defined as static.
Till now, I think both global and local variable are fine, got the same
thing.
But I believe global is better, because if other functions want to know
whether translation is enabled, this global variable is a good choice.
Thanks
Zhenhua
