Hi Hanjun,

Two questions: why don't you introduce this patch next to the
one that is going to make use of it (or even merge it there)?


this is because of this patch is needed by Jiang Liu's patch set
to fix the compile error on ARM64, I'd rather do that, but It's
better to let Jiang Liu's patch goes in, and then this one, that's
why I prepared a single patch for the struct. (I mentioned it
in the cover letter)

Second, why is the whole struct pci_controller not surrounded
by #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI as you are implying that this is needed
only for ACPI?


I hope it can be reused, since the NUMA node and segment (domain)
is both needed for DT and ACPI, if it's not the case foe now, I
can surrounded them all by #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI.
we can make use of this structure to hold pci to numa node
mapping(pcibus_to_node).
can you please pull node member out of CONFIG_ACPI ifdef.
or you can put only acpi_device under ifdef.

That struct disappeared in the latest series:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/8/443

Yes, I think that is the right direction going.


we have to have a common way to handle the NUMA info in DT and ACPI
so we should still find a solution that can be shared between the two,
it is yet another thing to take into account for PCI ACPI on arm64.

Agreed, we can take that into account when finished the basic
support.

Thanks
Hanjun
