I am wondering whether at some point we might want to use companion information in Xen as well. Another option might be to require that whoever creates their own sysdata structure to have pci_sysdata as its first element, e.g. --- a/drivers/pci/xen-pcifront.c +++ b/drivers/pci/xen-pcifront.c @@ -52,7 +52,12 @@ struct pcifront_device { }; struct pcifront_sd { + /* + * Must be the first element of this structure since pcifront_sd + * is assigned to bus' sysdata and may later be dereferenced as + * pci_sysdata. + */ + struct pci_sysdata sd; struct pcifront_device *pdev; }; -boris > > Reported-by: Sander Eikelenboom > Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
