Currently, the driver uses the APIC ID to index into the ioapic_sbdf array.
The current MAX_IO_APICS is 128, which causes the driver initialization
to fail on the system with IOAPIC ID >= 128.
Instead, this patch adds APIC ID in the struct ioapic_sbdf,
which is used to match the entry when searching through the array.
Wouldn't it have been a lot simpler to just bump the array size to
256? I'll comment on the rest of the patch anyway ...
Yes, it would, and that's what I originally tried. However, I was
thinking that it would be unnecessarily waste of space since that would
affect serveral structures i.e.
* mp_ioapic_routing[MAX_IO_APICS]
* mp_ioapics[MAX_IO_APICS]
* nr_ioapic_entries[MAX_IO_APICS]
* vector_map[MAX_IO_APICS]
* ioapic_sbdf[MAX_IO_APICS]
If you think this is a reasonable change, I can simplify the patch. The
number 256 should be reasonable for x1APIC since it only supports 8-bit
APIC ID. However, this might be an issue later on with 32-bit APIC ID w/
x2APIC.
Thanks,
Suravee
