[PATCH 3/3] drivers/vfio/pci: Fix MSIx message lost

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The problem is specific to the case of BIST issued applied to IPR
adapter on the guest side. After BIST reset, we lose everything
in MSIx table and we never have chance update MSIx messages for
those enabled interrupts to MSIx table.

The patch fixes it by writing MSIx message to MSIx table before
reenabling them.
