Hi,
I got notified about your patch to support multiple MSI Vectors on Freescale
PowerPC platforms. Is there any reason why it wasn't applied until now? I
couldn't find anything about it in the list archives.
I think it would be a real benefit for all to have multiple MSI vecotrs on
PowerPCs.
Thanks in advance,
Johannes

Could you provide a patchwork link to the patch you're talking about? -Scott

Unfortunately I couldn't find it in the ppc patchwork, but here are the links to the patch series in the list archives: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2014-February/115484.html https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2014-February/115485.html https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2014-February/115486.html Thanks, Johannes

Why would you not use MSI-X ? cheers

Simply because our hardware only supports MSI.

Does anyone (especially the original author) have any objections if I re-spin the patch series?

If I'm not mistaken, a PCI-E requirement is to support MSI but MSI-X is optional. And with MSI you can have multiple interrupts per single device (power of two, max 32). Now imagine you have a FPGA with two (or more) different devices in it and you don't want them to share the IRQ line (for $reason). I bet the HW developer sees MSI and MSI-X and the former is for some reason cheaper compared to MSI-X and it fits the needs. So…

I didn't get around to address the review comments so it did not went in and there was no v2. Feel free re-do the series. Sebastian
