From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: From: Alex Williamson Subject: [PATCH 1/3] PCI/MSI: Initial hook for archs to declare multivector MSI support To: bhelgaas@google.com Cc: linux-pci@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, x86@kernel.org, tglx@linutronix.de, mingo@redhat.com, hpa@zytor.com, joro@8bytes.org, iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 15:08:33 -0700 Message-ID: <20141121220833.31095.12371.stgit@gimli.home> In-Reply-To: <20141121213752.31095.30735.stgit@gimli.home> References: <20141121213752.31095.30735.stgit@gimli.home> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: For the most part multivector MSI is not supported and drivers and hardware wanting multiple vectors opt for MSI-X instead. It seems though that having the ability to query the arch/platform code to determine whether allocating multiple MSI vectors will ever succeed is a useful thing. For instance, vfio-pci can use this to determine whether to expose multiple MSI vectors to the user. If we know we cannot ever support more than one vector, we have a better shot at the userspace driver working, especially if it's a guest OS, if we only expose one vector as being available in the interface.
