Re: [PATCH V3 5/5] perf/amd/iommu: Enable support for multiple IOMMUs

[Suravee Suthikulpanit <Suravee.Suthikulpanit@amd.com>]

Hi Boris,

Thank you very much for catching several styling issues. I should have 
taken care of that earlier.  I'll clean them up.  Please see my other 
comments below.

Thanks,
Suravee

Sure. I'll add a new patch to remove all these pr_debug.

Good point. I'll take care of this.

OK.

I'll rename all these functions to make it shorter and less confusing.

Actually, I am just trying to match other exported functions in the AMD 
IOMMU driver. May be Joerg can let us know why these functions are not 
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to begin with.

Good point. So, for writing, I'll make sure to unset the 
registers/counters when we encounter errors.

For reading counters, I think it is acceptable to say that users cannot 
rely on the return values in the array if the function returns non-zero 
value (success).
