What is the actual requirement? We are allocating RAM for MSI (which is expected) and assigning this address to msi->pages this is what EP MSI capability will be programmed with. For the bridge to detect an incoming MWr from EP as MSI, hardware needs to know MSI address so the same address is programmed in the hardware register for comparison purpose. It is the actual requirement from hardware. -- 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
