How about using a Kconfig symbol like this: #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_RAW_PCI_READWRITE int raw_pci_read(unsigned int domain, unsigned int bus, unsigned int devfn, int reg, int len, u32 *val); int raw_pci_write(unsigned int domain, unsigned int bus, unsigned int devfn, int reg, int len, u32 val); #else static inline int raw_pci_read(unsigned int domain, unsigned int bus, unsigned int devfn, int reg, int len, u32 *val) { return pci_mmcfg_read(domain, bus, devfn, reg, len, val); } static inline int raw_pci_write(unsigned int domain, unsigned int bus, unsigned int devfn, int reg, int len, u32 val) { return pci_mmcfg_write(domain, bus, devfn, reg, len, val); } #endif Same thing for the weak symbols in patch 5.

That's interesting. I would have said exactly the opposite -- I think the extra Kconfiggery is harder to follow than weak/strong functions :) But consistency is better than my personal opinion. Is there a consensus that we should use the Kconfig strategy instead of __weak? > How about using a Kconfig symbol like this: > > #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_RAW_PCI_READWRITE > int raw_pci_read(unsigned int domain, unsigned int bus, unsigned int devfn, > int reg, int len, u32 *val); > int raw_pci_write(unsigned int domain, unsigned int bus, unsigned int devfn, > int reg, int len, u32 val); > #else > static inline int raw_pci_read(unsigned int domain, unsigned int bus, > unsigned int devfn, int reg, int len, u32 *val) > { > return pci_mmcfg_read(domain, bus, devfn, reg, len, val); > } > > static inline int raw_pci_write(unsigned int domain, unsigned int bus, > unsigned int devfn, int reg, int len, u32 val) > { > return pci_mmcfg_write(domain, bus, devfn, reg, len, val); > } > #endif -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I don't think there is a universal consensus, but the majority of maintainers seems to avoid them for the same reasons that I think __weak is problematic. We have some uses of __weak in the core kernel, but there is basically none in drivers outside of PCI, and the most common uses are all providing an empty __weak function that can be overridden with a function that actually does something, unlike the code above. My pragmatic approach so far has been to advocate __weak for drivers/pci patches but discourage it elsewhere when I review patches, in order to maintain consistency. I also think it would be nice to change the way that PCI handles architecture specific overrides in the process of unifying the host bridge handling. I wouldn't use Kconfig symbols in most cases though. My preferred choice would be to turn a lot of the __weak symbols into function pointers within a per-hostbridge structure. As an example, we could replace pcibios_add_device() with a pointer in pci_host_bridge->ops that gets set by all the architectures and host drivers that currently override it, and replace the one caller with if (pci_host_bridge->ops->add_device) pci_host_bridge->ops->add_device(dev); Arnd -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

One thing I like better about __weak (when used correctly) is that you have exactly one declaration, and the role of each definition (weak default implementation or strong override) is obvious from looking at it. In your #ifdef example, the extern declaration and the inline definition are never compiled together, so you have to repeat the signature and the compiler doesn't enforce that they match. So you end up with the extern and the inline in one file, a #define in an arch header file or Kconfig, and an arch definition in a third file. But it's certainly true that everybody knows how #ifdef works, and the fact that __weak on a declaration affects all in-scope definitions is definitely a land mine (multiple weak definitions with no strong one is a disaster). > My pragmatic approach so far has been to advocate __weak for > drivers/pci patches but discourage it elsewhere when I review > patches, in order to maintain consistency.

In this case, we'd like to support multiple host bridges, each with a different flavor of add_device(). We can't do that at all with either __weak or #ifdef.
