platform-msi: Do not cache msi_desc in handler_data

2015-09-15T15:06:29+00:00

The current implementation of platform MSI caches the msi_desc pointer in irq_data::handler_data. This is a bit silly, as we also have irq_data::msi_desc, which is perfectly valid. Remove the useless assignment and simplify the whole flow.

drivers/base: Add MSI domain support for non-PCI devices

2015-07-29T22:14:38+00:00

With the msi_list and the msi_domain properties now being at the generic device level, it is starting to be relatively easy to offer a generic way of providing non-PCI MSIs. The two major hurdles with this idea are: - Lack of global ID that identifies a device: this is worked around by having a global ID allocator for each device that gets enrolled in the platform MSI subsystem - Lack of standard way to write the message in the generating device. This is solved by mandating driver code to provide a write_msg callback, so that everyone can have their own square wheel Apart from that, the API is fairly straightforward: - platform_msi_create_irq_domain creates an MSI domain that gets tagged with DOMAIN_BUS_PLATFORM_MSI - platform_msi_domain_alloc_irqs allocate MSIs for a given device, populating the msi_list - platform_msi_domain_free_irqs does what is written on the tin [ tglx: Created a seperate struct platform_msi_desc and added kerneldoc entries ] Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier Cc: Cc: Yijing Wang Cc: Ma Jun Cc: Lorenzo Pieralisi Cc: Duc Dang Cc: Hanjun Guo Cc: Bjorn Helgaas Cc: Jiang Liu Cc: Jason Cooper Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1438091186-10244-10-git-send-email-marc.zyngier@arm.com Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner
