PCI/MSI: Add pci_enable_msi_exact() and pci_enable_msix_exact()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The new functions are special cases for pci_enable_msi_range() and
pci_enable_msix_range() when a particular number of MSI or MSI-X
is needed.

By contrast with pci_enable_msi_range() and pci_enable_msix_range()
functions, pci_enable_msi_exact() and pci_enable_msix_exact()
return zero in case of success, which indicates MSI or MSI-X
interrupts have been successfully allocated.

enable a particular number of MSI-X interrupts, pci_enable_msi_range()

int pci_enable_msi_exact(struct pci_dev *dev, int nvec)

This variation on pci_enable_msi_range() call allows a device driver to
request exactly 'nvec' MSIs.

If this function returns a negative number, it indicates an error and
the driver should not attempt to request any more MSI interrupts for
this device.
