Hi all,
Hi Henry,
This is the remaining series for the full functional "dynamic node programming using overlay dtbo" feature. The first part [1] has already been merged. Quoting from the original series, the first part has already made Xen aware of new device tree node which means updating the dt_host with overlay node information, and in this series, the goal is to map IRQ and IOMMU during runtime, where we will do the actual IOMMU and IRQ mapping and unmapping to a running domain. Also, documentation of the "dynamic node programming using overlay dtbo" feature is added. During the discussion in v3, I was recommended to split the overlay devices attach/detach to/from running domains to separated patches [3]. But I decided to only expose the xl user interfaces together to the users after device attach/detach is fully functional, so I didn't split the toolstack patch (#8).
So I was asking to split so we can get some of the work merged for 4.19. Can you clarify, whether the intention is to merge only patches #1-5?
Cheers, -- Julien Grall
