For example, my hardware structure likes below: uart ------> mbigen --> ITS-pMSI --> ITS --> GIC virq1 virq1 means the virq number allocted by irq_of_parse_and_map() function when system parse the uart dts node in initializing stage. To create a ITS device, I need to call msi_domain_alloc_irqs() function in my mbigen alloc function. In this function, a new virq number(named as virq2 ) which different from virq1 is allocated. So, this is a big problem. If we want to use the hierarchy structure, I think mbigen -> ITS -> GIC maybe is a possible way . The only problem is I need to do some change in ITS driver. I mean move its_create_device() and its_find_device() into its_irq_domain_alloc() But this solution is similar to my v3 patch. Thanks! Ma Jun > > No need for extra levels of indirection.
