Summary

The ice(4) driver will add the ability to create extra interfaces
that hang off of the base interface; to do that the driver requires
a method for the subinterface to request hardware interrupt resources
from the base interface. This functionality is planned to be upstreamed to the ice(4) driver soon.

Note: this is part of a stack of patches that also includes whitespace fixes as well as an extra helper function.

Can you explain the move from sctx to scctx here?

6863–6864

As I said on the other review before I noticed it was abandoned: Some whitespace changes snuck in. Please remove them from this functional commit..

This could've been a separate patch -- but I noticed that both sctx and scctx are referring to the same structure in ctx, so I just changed things to just use one of them. I'm not sure what the original intent for sctx was.

6863–6864

Krzysztof suggested this when I let him review this patch, too. I was worried about how Jeff would apply it if it were more than one patch (that's why it was two but I combined it into one), but the documentation does say that arc patch should automatically pull the predecessors in a patch stack, so maybe that wasn't necessary. I'll pull the whitespace/alignment changes out, anyway.

@jeffrey.e.pieper_intel.com Applying this revision using "arc patch" should pull all the parent revisions, too, but we'll have to double check to make sure.

This change was moved to D41325 to provide more clarity.

6863–6864

I moved non-functional whitespace changes to D41324.

Any new thoughts on this review or the previous one in the stack? I'd like to get these in for 14.0-RELEASE.

@erj can you post the draft driver update, I'd like to see how it intends to use this patch stack before commentary

Rebase on latest main; remove whitespace error

It's very late, but it's here: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D44004. This review and that one are part of the same Phabricator patch stack now.
