Hi, This is the v6 for the preparation of virtual PCI support on Hyper-V ARM64, Previous versions: v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210319161956.2838291-1-boqun.feng@gmail.com/ (local) v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210503144635.2297386-1-boqun.feng@gmail.com/ (local) v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210609163211.3467449-1-boqun.feng@gmail.com/ (local) v4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210714102737.198432-1-boqun.feng@gmail.com/ (local) v5: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210720134429.511541-1-boqun.feng@gmail.com/ (local) Changes since last version: * Rebase to 5.14-rc3 * Comment fixes as suggested by Bjorn. The basic problem we need to resolve is that ARM64 is an arch with PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC=y, so the bus sysdata is pci_config_window. However, Hyper-V PCI provides a paravirtualized PCI interface, so there is no actual pci_config_window for a PCI host bridge, so no information can be retrieve from the pci_config_window of a Hyper-V virtual PCI bus. Also there is no corresponding ACPI device for the Hyper-V PCI root bridge, which introduces a special case when trying to find the ACPI device from the sysdata (see patch #3). With this patchset, we could enable the virtual PCI on Hyper-V ARM64 guest with other code under development. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Got it.
I need some time to look into [1] (thanks for that). Without [1] patch 8 is ugly, that's no news. The question is whether it is worth waiting for a kernel cycle to integrate [1] into this series or not. Is it really a problem if we postpone this series for another kernel cycle so that we can look into it ?
Well, it's definitely better for me that we can have it in 5.15-rc1 ;-), because it's a dependency for Hyper-V virtual PCI support on ARM64 and we plan to send the rest of work in 5.15 cycle. And I can just base on hyperv-next for the rest of the work if this is in 5.15-rc1. But yes, it's not really a problem, since this one still needs to work with other patches to support virtual PCI on ARM64 Hyper-V. In fact, I personally don't think [1] is better than patch 8 (plus patch 3 & 4): playing with ->private seems dangerous and not very helpful on readiblity, but I agree that we should explore every potential solution, and that's why I send [1].
