platform_msi_alloc_priv_data() checks that a number of interrupts is
always given. This extra-check has no real impact and just prevents
uselessly the user to create an MSI tree domain: remove it.

Huh... It's not that simple.

Yes, it allows you to get a tree via platform_msi_create_device_domain
(assuming that's why you're changing it -- your commit message doesn't
say much) but it also has some impact on the way msi_domain_prepare_irqs
works (see how it is called from platform_msi_create_device_domain).

Importantly, the msi_prepare callback takes nvec as a parameter, and
that ends up trickling down to the irqchip, or whatever will setup the
MSI domain. Things like the GICv3 ITS do rely on that to carve out the
LPI space that subsequently gets used to populate the domain.

So no, you can't do it like that. If you really want a tree, add a
helper that does so.

Thanks,

	M.

Indeed. That was exactly my intention.

So if I understand correctly, what should be done is writting a new
helper that would do something similar to
platform_msi_create_device_domain(), but creating instead a tree domain
and still giving msi_domain_prepare_irqs() a meaningful number (as
nvec) that would be the maximum number of MSIs that could be allocated.
Am I right here?


Thanks,
