Subject: Re: [PATCH -v8] x86: Disable x2apic if nox2apic is specified or
 intr-remap can not be enabled

Yinghai, Here is the detailed review of your patch:

Not sure why we need x2apic_disabled check here.

Here also not sure why we need this. Right thing is to clear the x2apic
capability from the cpuid features when the user selects nox2apic.

x2apic MADT entries are specifically for apic-id's >= 255. So no need to
check for the value again. We can ignore all the x2apic entries. Also
print once indicating why all x2apic entries are being ignored should be
enough.

Also when we disable x2apic in the case not initiated by the user (like
no dmar tables etc), we would have already parsed the MADT entries but
we need to skip those entries with id >= 255 duing smp boot. I don't
think I see that code in this patch.

Not sure why you removed this clear_cpu_cap here. Right thing to do here
is to delay the clearing when x2apic is pre-enabled by the bios and
clear it here when x2apic is not pre-enabled by the bios.

I think we should be able to do read_apic_id() here and thus avoid the
need for getting apicid from cpuid.

We shouldn't call disable_x2apic() from here. We should be following the
same sequence, like masking interrupts at the cpu, pic, io-apic level
before we disable x2apic and re-enable xapic. So the right place to do
this disable is at enable_IR_x2apic().

enable_x2apic() gets called from both BP and AP. AP's need not do the
apic-id being >= 255 checks etc. As that is done during smp bringup
(which is missing currently from the current patch) or during MADT
parsing. So all we need to do is a simple x2apic->xapic conversion.

Same comments like in the above MADT parsing.

I think we can do with out this function.

While reviewing the code, I ended up doing some of this cleanup of your
patch. I have appended the modified version. Can you please incorporate
the smpboot checks before the AP bringup (apic-id should be less than
255 in !x2apic_mode etc) and split the patch into couple of patches
(apic_probe etc) along with other needed cleanups.

Thanks.
