[AMD Official Use Only] Hi, I am using Fedora 33, with the following KVM, qemu and libvirt versions: QEMU 5.1.0 libvirt 6.6.0 KVM 5.14.18 We have done pass-through of a PCIe NVMe device to the guest running on FC33 using either virt-manager or virsh and then we do the hot-unplug of the device while it is attached to the guest. The device is no longer seen on the guest hardware device list on virt-manager and then we hotplug the device again and we are able to use it on the Host, but when we try to re-attach it to the guest, we get the following error message: Requested operation is not valid, PCI device 0000:c4::00.0 is in use by driver QEMU, Domain fedora 33. So somehow libvirt still thinks the hot-unplugged device is attached. Tracing the flow of hot un-plug event from guest to host : ->Guest pcie hotplug support detected the NVMe driver unplug (from guest kernel logs):
pciehp: Slot (0-6): Attention button pressed pciehp: Slot (0-6): Powering off due to to button press. -> Also looks like the guest notified Host/KVM (from host kernel logs): pcieport: 0000:c4:0000.0: pciehp: Slot (208): Card not present -> Correspondingly, vfio-pci module notified Qemu : vfio-pci: 0000:c4:0000.0: Relaying device request to user (#0) -> Then the un-plugged device reset is done. vfio-pci: vfio_bar_restore: reset recovery - restoring BARs pci 0000:c4:00.0: Removing from iommu group 105. -> Next tried to verify if libvirt detected the DELETED_DRIVE event from qemu. Running SystemTap script to capture events between qemu and libvirt : stap examples/systemtap/qemu-monitor.stp When the NVMe drive is attached to VM the following log output is seen from SystemTap: execute "device-add", driver: "vfio-pci", host: "0000:c4:00.0", id: "hostdev0", bus: "pci.7", addr: "0". When we hot-unplug the NVMe drive, the following log output is seen from SystemTap: event: DEVICE_DELETED, device: "hostdev0", path: "/machine/peripheral/hostdev0". So it looks like that qemu sent the "DEVICE_DELTED" event to libvirt, but libvirt has still not removed the attached device from its bookeeping list. I understand there is already a thread from 20202, discussing a similar issue : https://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/libvirt-users/msg12590.html But I am not sure if there is any fix/support added for this recently.
Looking for any feedback related to above and PCI device passthrough and hotplug support.
Thanks, Ashish |
