It would seem to be easy to do and unifies the code rather than driving it further apart using even more of the __weak functions. Thierry

On one hand you try to get rid of the weak arch functions zoo and then you invent new ones for no good reason. Why can't x86 store the chip in the pci bus? Looking deeper, I'm questioning the whole notion of different msi_chips. Are this really different MSI controllers with a different feature set or are this defacto multiple instances of the same controller which just need a different data set?

As mentioned in the first reply, I will rework this one when we find a better solution. Thanks! Yijing. > > Thierry >

Hi Thomas, I introduced this weak function , because I thought all platforms except arm always have only one msi chip, and I hoped to provide a simplest solution, less code changes. I consider several solutions to associate msi chip and PCI device. In my reply to Thierry in first reply, http://marc.info/?l=linux-pci&m=141169658208255&w=2 Could you give me some advices ? Thanks!

MSI chip in this series is to setup MSI irq, including IRQ allocation, Map, compose MSI msg ..., in different platform, many arch specific MSI irq details in it. It's difficult to extract the common data and code. I have a plan to rework MSI related irq_chips in kernel, PCI and Non-PCI, currently, HPET, DMAR and PCI have their own irq_chip and MSI related functions, write_msi_msg(), mask_msi_irq(), etc... I want to extract the common data set for that, so we can remove lots of unnecessary MSI code. Thanks! Yijing. > > Thanks, > > tglx > > . >

Can you please make sure that this does not conflict with the ongoing work Jiang is doing in the x86 irq area with hierarchical irqdomains to distangle layered levels like MSI from the underlying vector/irqremap mechanics.

Yes, I'm reviewing Jiang hierarchical irqdomains series, I'm interested in that changes. Thanks! Yijing. > > Thanks, > > tglx > > . >

Introduce weak arch_find_msi_chip() to find the match msi_chip. Currently, MSI chip associates pci bus to msi_chip. Because in ARM platform, there may be more than one MSI controller in system. Associate pci bus to msi_chip help pci device to find the match msi_chip and setup MSI/MSI-X irq correctly. But in other platform, like in x86. we only need one MSI chip, because all device use the same MSI address/data and irq etc. So it's no need to associate pci bus to MSI chip, just use a arch function, arch_find_msi_chip() to return the MSI chip for simplicity. The default weak arch_find_msi_chip() used in ARM platform, find the MSI chip by pci bus.
