Hi Thomas,
These changes are a temporary solution, I'm working on another
patch set which will refine these interfaces, especially kill
arch_msi_irq_domain_{set|get}_hwirq().
Regards!
Gerry

Would the change includes the struct irqdomain_msi_data proposed by
Thomas here (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/6/210)?
Hi Suravee,
I'm working on another patch set which will refine the way to
create irqdomain for MSI. I hope will solve all issues mentioned by
Thomas. I will post that patch set as RFC within one or two days.

Let me know if I can help.


[...]
+static int msi_domain_alloc(struct irq_domain *domain, unsigned int
virq,
+ unsigned int nr_irqs, void *arg)
+{
+ int i, ret;
+ irq_hw_number_t hwirq = arch_msi_irq_domain_get_hwirq(arg);
+
+ if (irq_find_mapping(domain, hwirq) > 0)
+ return -EEXIST;
+
+ ret = irq_domain_alloc_irqs_parent(domain, virq, nr_irqs, arg);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ return ret;
+

When executing irq_domain_alloc_irqs_parent(), it triggers the following
warning message due to

WARN_ON(desc->irq_data.chip == &no_irq_chip)

....

However, I think if we call irq_domain_set_hwirq_and_chip() in the
msi_create_irq_domain() as suggested by Thomas, that should also fix
this issue.
We didn't trigger this warning on x86 because only the outer-most
irqdomain will set irq flow handler. On ARM, the inner GIC domain
will set irq flow handler, but the irq_data->chip for outer-most
domain hasn't been set yet.

I'm still find a way out here. Maybe we need to relax the WARN_ON().

What if we just switch the order and call the irq_domain_alloc_irqs_parent() after the loop? That way we can still keep the WARN_ON().
