For example, all hypervisor devices on IBM hardware live under /vdevice, which is attached to the device tree root. They don't use MMIO, so simple-bus doesn't really make sense. How does Xen communicate with the OS in these devices? -NathanAs I understand, only the simple bus code (see simplebus_attach) is translating the interrupts in the device on a resource. So if you have a node directly attached to the root node with interrupts and MMIO, the driver won't be able to retrieve and translate the interrupts via bus_alloc_resources.Is the root node not considered to be a "top-level simple-bus" with a 1:1 mapping of MMIO and interrupts? (Linux seems to treat it this way, but I haven't trawled the docs for a spec reference to back that behaviour up). I take it BSD doesn't do this? There is 2 different paths on FreeBSD to decode interrupt/MMIO (depending if you are under the root node or a simple-bus node). Most of the code is duplicated but there are some parts which differs (for instance interrupt decoding, see my answer to Nathan). I will look at closer to the code this week-end and see if I can fix it. -- Julien Grall _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
