+ if (!dr || !dr->enabled)here checks whether the pci device is enabled.What is the purpose of this? The device "is_managed" or not.
The device is managed or not by check whether "dr" is NULL. And check the "dr->enabled" is for the PCI device enable. I think it may not make sense to apply for irq vectors when PCI device is not enabled. PCI device enable by call pci_enable_device() function, this function initialize device before it's used by a driver. Ask low-level code to enable I/O and memory. Wake up the device if it was suspended. So I think it might be better to return to failure when it is found the PCI device is not enabled in the pcim_alloc_irq_vectors() function. It can facilitate developers to find problems as soon as possible. BR, Dejin
