Considering this (and at least one more similar adjustment further
down), is it really appropriate to include p2m_ioreq_server in the
set of "changeable" types?
Well, I agree p2m_ioreq_server do have different behaviors than the
p2m_log_dirty, but removing p2m_ioreq_server from changeable type
would need more specific code for the p2m_ioreq_server in routines like
resolve_misconfig(), do_recalc() and p2m_change_entry_type_global() etc.
I've tried this approach and abandoned later. :)
I can see that the other option might require more adjustments, in
which case I guess this variant would be fine if you created another
helper (well named) inline function instead of open coding this in
several places. Of course such dissimilar handling in the various
places p2m_is_changeable() gets used right now will additionally
require good reasoning - after all that predicate exists to express
the similarities between different code paths.
Thanks Jan.
Well, for the logic of p2m type recalculation, similarities between
p2m_ioreq_server
and other changeable types exceeds their differences. As to the special
cases, how
about we use a macro, i.e. p2m_is_ioreq?
