Hi Marc,

Since Linux commit 7d5ec3d36123 ("PCI/MSI: Mask all unused MSI-X
entries"), kvmtool segfaults when the guest boots and tries to
disable all the MSI-X entries of a virtio device while MSI-X itself
is disabled.

What Linux does is seems perfectly correct. However, kvmtool uses
a different decoding depending on whether MSI-X is enabled for
this device or not. Which seems pretty wrong.

While I really wish this would be wrong, I think this is
indeed how this is supposed to work: The Virtio legacy spec makes the
existence of those two virtio config fields dependent on the
(dynamic!) enablement status of MSI-X. This is reflected in:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/include/uapi/linux/virtio_pci.h#n72
and explicitly mentioned as a footnote in the virtio 0.9.5 spec[1]:
"3) ie. once you enable MSI-X on the device, the other fields move. If
you turn it off again, they move back!"

Madness! What was Rusty on at the time? I really hope the bitcoin
thing is buying him better stuff...

I agree that this looks like a bad idea, but I am afraid we are stuck
with this. It looks like the Linux driver is at fault here, it should
not issue the config access when MSIs are disabled. Something like this
(untested):

This is just my first idea after looking at this, happy to stand
corrected or hear about a better solution.

I don't think this works. It instead completely disables MSI-X, which
is a total bore. I think the only way to deal with it is to quirk it
to prevent the bulk masking to take effect before MSI-X is enabled.

Actually, let me correct myself. I tested the wrong configuration (why
isn't --force-pci the bloody default in kvmtool?).

I guess because there is no --force-mmio, and PCI on ARM was kind of daunting back then ;-)


This patch doesn't
fix anything at all, and kvmtool just explodes.

Having dug further, it isn't the config space that causes problems,
but the programming of the MSI-X vectors. I'm starting to suspect the
layout of the MSI-X bar in kvmtool.

OK, this is hilarious. Sort of. The MSI-X bar sizing is bonkers: you
can't fit 33 MSIs there (33 being the number of MSI-X that kvmtool
advertises), and you will have notionally overwritten the PBA as
well. Amusingly, the last write ends up being misdecoded as a config
space access...

Ah, very good find indeed, many thanks for the debugging!

I am only halfway through the code by now, but wouldn't you need to adjust the PBA offset in the MSIX capability as well? This is still stuck at that (misnamed) PCI_IO_SIZE, in virtio/pci.c:virtio_pci__init(): vpci->pci_hdr.msix.pba_offset =
And IIUC this has to match the decoding in virtio_pci__msix_mmio_callback().

Cheers,
Andre

Subject: [PATCH] virtio/pci: Size the MSI-X bar according to the number of
  MSI-X

Since 45d3b59e8c45 ("kvm tools: Increase amount of possible interrupts
per PCI device"), the number of MSI-S has gone from 4 to 33.

However, the corresponding storage hasn't been upgraded, and writing
to the MSI-X table is a pretty risky business. Now that the Linux
kernel writes to *all* MSI-X entries before doing anything else
with the device, kvmtool dies a horrible death.

Fix it by properly defining the size of the MSI-X bar, and make
Linux great again.
