Well, I don't think you can differentiate that case, right? I guess this is where the driver knowledge comes into play: if the read returns ~0, the pci_read_config* should probably return in that case something like: PCIBIOS_READ_MAYBE_FAILED to denote it is all 1s and then the caller should be able to determine, based on any of domain:bus:slot.func and whatever else the driver knows about its hardware, whether the 1s are a valid value or an error. Hopefully. Or something better of which I cannot think of right now... -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. https://people.kernel.org/tglx/notes-about-netiquette _______________________________________________ Linux-kernel-mentees mailing list Linux-kernel-mentees@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-kernel-mentees
