Re: [PATCH] PCI: iproc: restrict multi-MSI to single core CPUs

[Bjorn Helgaas]

[+cc Lorenzo, linux-pci]

You can use this to find the appropriate cc list:

  ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/pci/controller/pcie-iproc-msi.c

I added Lorenzo and linux-pci for you.

Please update the subject line to:

  PCI: iproc: Support multi-MSI only on uniprocessor kernel

This sounds like it's fixing *two* problems: the bitmap allocation
problem above, and the multi-MSI restriction problem below.  Please
split this into two separate patches if possible.

Please rewrap the commit log to fit in 75 columns, so it still fits
in 80 when "git log" indents it.

s/as implies/as it implies/
s/Multi-MSI/multi-MSI/ (or capitalize them all; just be consistent)
s/with single CPU core/with a single CPU/

Using "core" here ("single core CPUs" or "single CPU core") suggests
that this has something to do with single-core CPUs vs multi-core
CPUs, but I don't think that's the case.

The patch says the important thing is whether the kernel supports one
CPU or several CPUs.  Whether they're in a single package or not is
irrelevant.  And apparently multi-MSI even works fine when you boot a
uniprocessor kernel (CONFIG_NR_CPUS=1) on a multi-processor machine.

Patch is incorrectly generated and lacks a path element, so doesn't
apply cleanly.  I don't know how you did this, but it should look like
this (note the leading "a/" and "b/"):

  diff --git a/drivers/pci/controller/pcie-iproc-msi.c b/drivers/pci/controller/pcie-iproc-msi.c

Can you wrap this comment so it fits in 80 columns, please?  The rest
of the file is formatted for 80 columns, so it will be nice if this
matches.
