Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v7 1/2] xen/arm: extend fdt_property_interrupts to support DomU



Hi Viktor,

Extend fdt_property_interrupts to deal with other domain than the hwdom.

The prototype of fdt_property_interrupts() has been modified
to support both hwdom and domU in one function.

To be pedantic, the current prototype for fdt_property_interrupts() can already deal with either hwdom and DomU. What your patch does is passing kinfo, so you only use parameter rather than two. So how about:

"The domain and fdt can be found in the structure kinfo. Rather than adding a an extra argument for the domain, pass directly kinfo. This also requires to adapt fdt_property_interrupts() prototype."


This is a preparatory for the next patch which consolidates
make_timer_node and make_timer_domU_node".

In v3, I pointed out that it is a bit risky to write down the title of a patch that does not preceded it (or been committed). Imagine we can decide to rename it. Furthermore, "next patch" implies they are committed one after the other.

It is fairly common to apply part of the series if the rest needs some rework. So a better (and safer wording) is "A follow-up patch will need to create the interrupts for either Dom0 or DomU".

Original goal is to consolidate make_timer functions.

With my suggestion above, this sentence can be dropped.

The rest of the patch looks good to me. I am happy to update the commit message while committing it.

Let me know your preference.

Cheers,
