| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 74bb1bcc7dbb ("PCI: handle SR-IOV Virtual Function Migration"), removing this exported interface: pci_sriov_migration() Since pci_sriov_migration() is unused, it is impossible to schedule sriov_migration_task() or use any of the other migration infrastructure. This is based on Stephen Hemminger's patch (see link below), but goes a bit further.

* | PCI/MSI: Add pci_enable_msi_exact() and pci_enable_msix_exact()Alexander Gordeev2014-02-131-2/+84
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new functions are special cases for pci_enable_msi_range() and pci_enable_msix_range() when a particular number of MSI or MSI-X is needed. By contrast with pci_enable_msi_range() and pci_enable_msix_range() functions, pci_enable_msi_exact() and pci_enable_msix_exact() return zero in case of success, which indicates MSI or MSI-X interrupts have been successfully allocated.

* | PCI/MSI: Add pci_enable_msi() documentation backAlexander Gordeev2014-02-031-3/+20
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We deprecated pci_enable_msi() in 302a2523c277 ("PCI/MSI: Add pci_enable_msi_range() and pci_enable_msix_range()"). But we changed our minds after noticing that: - pci_enable_msi() doesn't have confusing return values like pci_enable_msi_block() and pci_enable_msix() did, and - pci_enable_msi() has a hundred or so callers that we don't want to change. This adds back the pci_enable_msi() documentation. [bhelgaas: changelog] Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev <agordeev@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds pci_enable_msi_range(), which supersedes the pci_enable_msi() and pci_enable_msi_block() MSI interfaces. It also adds pci_enable_msix_range(), which supersedes the pci_enable_msix() MSI-X interface. The old interfaces have three categories of return values: negative: failure; caller should not retry positive: failure; value indicates number of interrupts that *could* have been allocated, and caller may retry with a smaller request zero: success; at least as many interrupts allocated as requested It is error-prone to handle these three cases correctly in drivers. The new functions return either a negative error code or a number of successfully allocated MSI/MSI-X interrupts, which is expected to lead to clearer device driver code. pci_enable_msi(), pci_enable_msi_block() and pci_enable_msix() still exist unchanged, but are deprecated and may be removed after callers are updated.

| * PCI/MSI: Add pci_msix_vec_count()Alexander Gordeev2014-01-031-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This creates an MSI-X counterpart for pci_msi_vec_count(). Device drivers can use this function to obtain maximum number of MSI-X interrupts the device supports and use that number in a subsequent call to pci_enable_msix(). pci_msix_vec_count() supersedes pci_msix_table_size() and returns a negative errno if device does not support MSI-X interrupts. After this update, callers must always check the returned value. The only user of pci_msix_table_size() was the PCI-Express port driver, which is also updated by this change.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new function pci_enable_msi_block_auto() tries to allocate maximum possible number of MSIs up to the number the device supports. It generalizes a pattern when pci_enable_msi_block() is contiguously called until it succeeds or fails. Opposite to pci_enable_msi_block() which takes the number of MSIs to allocate as a input parameter, pci_enable_msi_block_auto() could be used by device drivers to obtain the number of assigned MSIs and the number of MSIs the device supports.
