Are you calling iproc_pcie_paxc_v2_msi_steer() anywhere else with 'false' ?
I see its getting called only from one place in current code
iproc_pcie_msi_steer().

It is called below with the false field to disable MSIs. That's probably
one reason more to create a function to enable/disable MSIs instead of
adding a parameter to iproc_pcie_paxc_v2_msi_steer().

Correct. Thanks for helping to explain.


Which brings me to the question: what happens to those MSIs writes
when MSIs are disabled according to this patch ? Are they terminated
at the root complex ?

Note the PAXC block parses MSI writes from our internally connected endpoints (i.e., an embedded network processor). The PAXC block examines these MSI writes and modifies the memory attributes (to DEVICE) of these data and then send them out to the AXI bus. These MSI writes will then be forwarded to the GIC (e.g., GICv2m, GICv3-ITS from ARM) for further processing. This is saying, PAXC itself does not process these MSI writes. They are processed by the GIC and associated interrupt will be generated form the GIC. PAXC's job is to parse and tag them properly so these MSI writes can reach the GIC, and at the same, reach the GIC at the right order.

On some of these problematic PAXCs, we are being forced to disable this PAXC internal parsing logic. In this case, we set up static mapping with the IOMMU to modify the memory attributes of these MSI writes. These MSI writes are always designated towards a specific memory address (e.g., on the GICv3 based system, it's the address of the translator register), and that's why static mapping table can be set up to work around this.
