maybe not another, but just moved, as then the caller doesn't need to
have it

feel free to ask authors, this was introduced (without review) as part
of the initial Xe commit dd08ebf6c352

well, it depends.

since it is already there, IMO we should use it.

OTOH, during some other review it was said that maybe the whole xe_map
layer will go away, so then no need to use it, but equally, no need to
use _any_ of other xe_map wrappers, so need for having a xe is also gone

but as there are no signs that xe_map will be removed, we should
continue to reuse existing code

unless @Lucas has some more recent news

hmm, not sure if I follow here... what was wrong with:

	msg = ctb_read32(...)
or
	msg = xe_map_read32(...)

you could still use FIELD_GET from the 'msg' var

but then you are little inconsistent, you defined new helper but then
decided to access data without it

well, it was just inconsistency, in other places you seems to add
documentation even if there is no

btw, no need to have local var here, since you can do ct_to_gt()
directly in the xe_gt_err() below (it's the only use case)

not sure if those errors are that different.
see CTB descriptor status codes:

	GUC_CTB_STATUS_OVERFLOW
	GUC_CTB_STATUS_UNDERFLOW

which are used exactly to classify those kind of errors

if we are able to read msg header from the CTB but there is no payload
data on CTB then it's a CTB protocol bug

racing with what?

I'm not sure what you are looking for..

my point is that it looks inconsistent that one in/out param is passed
by pointer, the other by value and then it's new value is returned

if you pass both by ptr then you can use return value to indicate some
error condition (which seems to be already there but silenced by
returning 'no-avail')

if code can fail and caller might make some decision based on the
success/failure then IMO we should return error code

if the code can't fail, then it should be void

but right now I just can't judge which scenarios that you implemented
could fail just because of our coding mistakes, where asserts() would be
sufficient to cover them, vs real scenarios that we should treat as
serious recovery failures

but I didn't say it has to be all done in single patch

if some changes are logically independent they deserve a separate patch

this is also to help getting reviews sooner as patches will be smaller

the point is that in the 'xe' level function you are directly accessing
a VF internal field stored deep under 'gt.sriov.vf.self_config' structure

IMO current code access self_config.ggtt_shift from too many places

hmm, ok, so do we expect that there could be cross-tile references to
the other tile GGTT? if yes, do we have at least asserts that can
confirm that we are not doing fixups on the tile with un-shifted ggtt nodes?
