We have 3 use cases of mdev. 1. current mdev binding to vfio_mdev 2. mdev binding to virtio 3. mdev binding to mlx5_core without dev_ops Also (a) a given parent may serve multiple types of classes in future. (b) number of classes may not likely explode, they will be handful of them. (vfio_mdev, virtio) So, instead of making copies of this dev_ops pointer in each mdev, it is better to keep const multiple ops in their parent device. Something like below, struct mdev_parent { [..] struct mdev_parent_ops *parent_ops; /* create, remove */ struct vfio_mdev_ops *vfio_ops; /* read,write, ioctl etc */ struct virtio_mdev_ops *virtio_ops; /* virtio ops */ }; const struct vfio_mdev_ops *mdev_get_vfio_ops(struct mdev_parent *parent); const struct virtio_mdev_ops *mdev_get_virtio_ops(struct mdev_parent *parent); This way, (a) we have strong type check support (b) ops pointer is not duplicated across several hundred mdev devices, and don't have to set on every mdev creation (c) all 3 classes of mdev are supported (d) one extra symbol table entry used per ops type, but there are not expected to grow a lot. (e) multiple classes per single parent is still supported (f) still extendible for multiple classes (well defined classes = vfio, virtio, and vendor class) _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
