May I ask, why do you need to include dm_op.h here?
I needed to include that header to make some bits visible (XEN_DMOP_IO_RANGE_PCI, struct xen_dm_op_buf, etc). Why here - is a really good question. I don't remember exactly, probably I followed x86's domain.h which also included it. So, trying to remove the inclusion here, I get several build failures on Arm which could be fixed if I include that header from dm.h and ioreq.h:

Shall I do this way?

If the failure are indeded because ioreq.h and dm.h use definition from public/hvm/dm_op.h, then yes. Can you post the errors?
Please see attached, although I built for Arm32 (and the whole series), I think errors are valid for Arm64 also.

Thanks!

error1.txt - when remove #include <public/hvm/dm_op.h> from asm-arm/domain.h

For this one, I agree that including <public/hvm/dm_op.h> in xen.h looks the best solution.

error2.txt - when add #include <public/hvm/dm_op.h> to xen/ioreq.h

It looks like the error is happening in dm.c rather than xen/dm.h. Any reason to not include <public/hvm/dm_op.h> in dm.c directly?


error3.txt - when add #include <public/hvm/dm_op.h> to xen/dm.h

I am a bit confused with this one. Isn't it the same as error1.txt?

Shouldn't this directly be under asm-arm/ rather than asm-arm/hvm/ as the IOREQ is now meant to be agnostic?
Good question... The _common_ IOREQ code is indeed arch-agnostic. But, can the _arch_ IOREQ code be treated as really subarch-agnostic? I think, on Arm it can and it is most likely ok to keep it in "asm-arm/", but how it would be correlated with x86's IOREQ code which is HVM specific and located
in "hvm" subdir?

Sorry, I don't understand your answer/questions. So let me ask the question differently, is asm-arm/hvm/ioreq.h going to be included from common code?

Sorry if I was unclear.



If the answer is no, then I see no reason to follow the x86 here.
If the answer is yes, then I am quite confused why half of the series tried to remove "hvm" from the function name but we still include "asm/hvm/ioreq.h".

Answer is yes. Even if we could to avoid including that header from the common code somehow, we would still have #include <public/hvm/*>, is_hvm_domain().

I saw Jan answered about this one. Let me know if you need more input.

Cheers,
