[petsc-users] Field data in KSPSetCompute[RHS/Operators]

[Barry Smith]

  Store the information in the context argument for these two functions (and use the same context argument for both, for simplicity).

To do so, I need KSPSetComputeOperators() and KSPSetComputeRHS() to know about scalar fields (e.g. density) that I compute by gathering the particles before solving for the potential. Should I pass them via an application context, store them in a DM dof, or something else?
