Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Revert MSI msg API churn
Date: Wed, 01 Oct 2014 10:48:16 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141001163814.2709.92885.stgit@gimli.home> (raw)
The MSI message API has gone through some churn, that I think results
in an inconsistent interface. We now have this:
void read_msi_msg(struct msi_desc *entry, struct msi_msg *msg);
void get_cached_msi_msg(struct msi_desc *entry, struct msi_msg *msg);
void __write_msi_msg(struct msi_desc *entry, struct msi_msg *msg);
void write_msi_msg(unsigned int irq, struct msi_msg *msg);
write_msi_msg() takes an irq arg, but read_msi_msg() takes an
msi_desc. Presumably write_msi_msg() was not converted because it
has a much larger user base, but this sort of inconsitency results
in a poor API.
This series reverts a selection of commits to return us to:
void __read_msi_msg(struct msi_desc *entry, struct msi_msg *msg);
void __get_cached_msi_msg(struct msi_desc *entry, struct msi_msg *msg);
void __write_msi_msg(struct msi_desc *entry, struct msi_msg *msg);
void get_cached_msi_msg(unsigned int irq, struct msi_msg *msg);
void write_msi_msg(unsigned int irq, struct msi_msg *msg);
I've left the removal of read_msi_msg() since it has no users, but
restored get_cached_msi_msg() since it has an imminent user. This
will also cleanup the upcoming merge conflicts in next. Thanks,
Alex
