Subject: [PATCH v4 1/1] PCI/ATS: Mandate checking pci_ats_supported() before pci_prepare_ats()
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 23:33:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001233338.918408-2-praan@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001233338.918408-1-praan@google.com>
Currently, pci_prepare_ats() internally calls pci_ats_supported() and
returns -EINVAL if the device does not support ATS. While this provides
a silent safety check, it conflates support detection with configuration.
Update pci_prepare_ats() to wrap the internal pci_ats_supported check in
a WARN_ON(). This mandates all callers to call pci_prepare_ats() only if
the function supports ATS.
Update the function documentation to mention that callers must verify
ATS support (via pci_ats_supported()) before calling pci_prepare_ats().
