[PATCH v5 4/6] PCI: Refactor disable_acs_redir and config_acs param handling

From: Wei Wang

Date: Sun Feb 15 2026 - 21:28:47 EST


The current implementation mixes disable_acs_redir and config_acs param
processing inside __pci_config_acs(), using acs_mask==0 as an implicit
signal to switch into config_acs_param mode. The intertwined logic is
hard to follow and easy to break:

- The acs_mask==0 special case is non-obvious and obscures which code
paths apply to which parameter.
- The interleaved logic is fragile; changes intended for one parameter
can unintentionally affect the other. For example,
pci_dev_specific_disable_acs_redir() is invoked on the common path
even though it should apply only to disable_acs_redir.

Split the two behaviors into dedicated functions,
pci_param_disable_acs_redir() and pci_param_config_acs(), making the
control flow explicit and easier to maintain.

The new pci_param_config_acs() implementation also improves on the
original logic:

- It searches for the matching device first and parses ACS flags only
for the matched device, avoiding unnecessary work.
- A switch statement replaces multiple if/else blocks, improving
readability.
- Bounds checking (max_shift) prevents overrunning the device’s ACS
capability bits.
- Variable names (enabled_bits, disabled_bits) more clearly express
their roles compared to the previous mask/flags pair.
- Error messages are simplified to reduce dmesg noise.

This refactor separates concerns, improves robustness, and makes future
extensions to ACS parameter handling safer and easier to review.
