[PATCH 0/2] mini-os: remove device specific struct file members

[Juergen Gross]

This small series is a followup to the series sent recently:

https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2022-01/threads.html#00110

It contains the last cleanups related to struct file and can only be
applied after the Xen libraries have stopped using the related union
members.

[PATCH 1/2] mini-os: remove event channel specific struct file member

[Juergen Gross]

The event channel specific union member in struct file is no longer
needed, so remove it together with the associated structure
definitions.

Doesn't xen/tools/libs/evtchn/minios.c use it?

Not after the Xen patches have been applied.

This all looks fine.  Even if we don't want to hide struct file,
shouldn't we at least make the files[] array private to the MiniOS
core?  It's another implementation detail which external users mustn't
rely on.

In theory yes.

This will need some more work either by splitting headers or by
using get_file_from_fd() everywhere in Mini-OS.

Ah, ok :) Was that submitted somewhere?

I've sent the patches, but they can be applied only after the first
Mini-OS series has been applied and the Xen build is using the
updated Mini-OS tree.

Meanwhile I've found a way to decouple Mini-OS and the Xen libs even
further. So this series and the Xen one will be updated.

In the end the libs will use dynamic hooks and Mini-OS will no longer
need to have a config knob for supporting the libs (other than having
libc enabled).
