Hi all,

this series removes a problematic feature from pci_intx(). That function
sometimes implicitly uses devres for automatic cleanup. We should get
rid of this implicit behavior.

To do so, a pci_intx() version that is always-managed, and one that is
never-managed are provided. Then, all pci_intx() users are ported to the
version they need. Afterwards, pci_intx() can be cleaned up and the
users of the never-managed version be ported back to pci_intx().

This way we'd get this PCI API consistent again.

The last patch obviously reverts the previous patches that made drivers
use pci_intx_unmanaged(). But this way it's easier to review and
approve. It also makes sure that each checked out commit should provide
correct behavior, not just the entire series as a whole.

Merge plan for this would be to enter through the PCI tree.

Please say so if you've got concerns with the general idea behind the
RFC.

Regards,
P.

AFAICS pci_intx() is used only by drivers which haven't been converted
to the pci_alloc_irq_vectors() API yet. Wouldn't it be better to do this
instead of trying to improve pci_intx()?
Eventually pci_intx() would have to be used in PCI core only.

This would be the créme-de-la-créme-solution, yes.

But such a portation would require more detailed knowledge of the old
drivers.

In this discussion, Alex points out that at least in some drivers, you
can't replace pci_intx() without further ado:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240904151020.486f599e.alex.williamson@redhat.com/


What we could do is mark pci_intx() and pcim_intx() as deprecated and
point everyone to pci_alloc_irq_vectors(). Then someone can look into
porting the old drivers at some point in the future.

My first impression was the same...

...but here I got the point by Philipp.
