From 92db6d10bc1bc43330a4c540fa5b64c83d9d865f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2006 02:16:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] genirq: msi: simplify the msi irq limit policy Currently we attempt to predict how many irqs we will be able to allocate with msi using pci_vector_resources and some complicated accounting, and then we only allow each device as many irqs as we think are available on average. Only the s2io driver even takes advantage of this feature all other drivers have a fixed number of irqs they need and bail if they can't get them. pci_vector_resources is inaccurate if anyone ever frees an irq. The whole implmentation is racy. The current irq limit policy does not appear to make sense with current drivers. So I have simplified things. We can revisit this we we need a more sophisticated policy. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
