Pull x86/apic changes from Ingo Molnar: "Main changes: - Multiple MSI support added to the APIC, PCI and AHCI code - acked by all relevant maintainers, by Alexander Gordeev. The advantage is that multiple AHCI ports can have multiple MSI irqs assigned, and can thus spread to multiple CPUs. [ Drivers can make use of this new facility via the pci_enable_msi_block_auto() method ] - x86 IOAPIC code from interrupt remapping cleanups from Joerg Roedel: These patches move all interrupt remapping specific checks out of the x86 core code and replaces the respective call-sites with function pointers. As a result the interrupt remapping code is better abstraced from x86 core interrupt handling code. - Various smaller improvements, fixes and cleanups." * 'x86-apic-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (26 commits) x86/intel/irq_remapping: Clean up x2apic opt-out security warning mess x86, kvm: Fix intialization warnings in kvm.c x86, irq: Move irq_remapped out of x86 core code x86, io_apic: Introduce eoi_ioapic_pin call-back x86, msi: Introduce x86_msi.compose_msi_msg call-back x86, irq: Introduce setup_remapped_irq() x86, irq: Move irq_remapped() check into free_remapped_irq x86, io-apic: Remove !irq_remapped() check from __target_IO_APIC_irq() x86, io-apic: Move CONFIG_IRQ_REMAP code out of x86 core x86, irq: Add data structure to keep AMD specific irq remapping information x86, irq: Move irq_remapping_enabled declaration to iommu code x86, io_apic: Remove irq_remapping_enabled check in setup_timer_IRQ0_pin x86, io_apic: Move irq_remapping_enabled checks out of check_timer() x86, io_apic: Convert setup_ioapic_entry to function pointer x86, io_apic: Introduce set_affinity function pointer x86, msi: Use IRQ remapping specific setup_msi_irqs routine x86, hpet: Introduce x86_msi_ops.setup_hpet_msi x86, io_apic: Introduce x86_io_apic_ops.print_entries for debugging x86, io_apic: Introduce x86_io_apic_ops.disable() x86, apic: Mask IO-APIC and PIC unconditionally on LAPIC resume ...

x86/MSI: Support multiple MSIs in presense of IRQ remapping

2013-01-24T16:25:12Z

The MSI specification has several constraints in comparison with MSI-X, most notable of them is the inability to configure MSIs independently. As a result, it is impossible to dispatch interrupts from different queues to different CPUs. This is largely devalues the support of multiple MSIs in SMP systems. Also, a necessity to allocate a contiguous block of vector numbers for devices capable of multiple MSIs might cause a considerable pressure on x86 interrupt vector allocator and could lead to fragmentation of the interrupt vectors space. This patch overcomes both drawbacks in presense of IRQ remapping and lets devices take advantage of multiple queues and per-IRQ affinity assignments.
