The disabling-reenabling is an artifact of the new code to handle runtime vector updates, which enables CPU affinity of vectors and guests that behave slightly different, like FreeBSD. This is a good reminder that you're running an old version of qemu and should probably update to the latest release for debugging. > The usual sequence for me is > calling KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ twice for the same assigned_dev-id: > > [ 2423.990404] kvm-32353: KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ assigned_dev_id=946 > [ 2423.991585] kvm-32353: assigned_device_enable_host_msix(): call > request_threaded_irq() assigned_dev_id=946 #0: [v=158 e=0] > [ 2423.991810] kvm-32353: assigned_device_enable_host_msix(): call > request_threaded_irq() assigned_dev_id=946 #1: [v=159 e=1] > [ 2423.991869] kvm-32353: assigned_device_enable_host_msix(): call > request_threaded_irq() assigned_dev_id=946 #2: [v=160 e=2] > [ 2424.054320] kvm-32353: KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ assigned_dev_id=946 > [ 2424.055337] kvm-32353: assigned_device_enable_host_msix(): call > request_threaded_irq() assigned_dev_id=946 #0: [v=158 e=0] > [ 2424.055516] kvm-32353: assigned_device_enable_host_msix(): call > request_threaded_irq() assigned_dev_id=946 #1: [v=159 e=1] > [ 2424.055673] kvm-32353: assigned_device_enable_host_msix(): call > request_threaded_irq() assigned_dev_id=946 #2: [v=160 e=2] > > As you requested, I specified the intremap=off option to the kernel (saw > that nointremap is deprecated), and reproduced.

If it's not a recent upstream kernel, please verify on that. > With irqbalance running, I saw that pci_enable_msix() does not report > failure, but does not set up the interrupt verctor, and further call to > request_threaded_irq() fails with EBUSY: > > [ 2425.292444] kvm-32353: KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ assigned_dev_id=913 > [ 2425.292458] kvm-32353: assigned_device_enable_host_msix(): call > request_threaded_irq() assigned_dev_id=913 #0: [v=0 e=0] > [ 2425.292753] kvm-32353: assigned_device_enable_host_msix() > request_threaded_irq(vector=0) failed assigned_dev_id=913 > irq_name=kvm:0000:03:12.1 err=-16 > Dec 6 19:36:04 ubuntu-sata-21 kernel: [ 2425.294434] kvm-32353: > KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ assigned_dev_id=913 r=-16 > > Then I turned irqbalance off, and reproduced again; this time > pci_enable_msix() returns EINVAL (-22).

So you have two failure modes. In one case pci_enable_msix returns success and in the other it returns failure, but in both cases the vectors are all zero. I think the next step is to try to reproduce on current upstream kernel and qemu. If those still generate similar failures instrument the pci_enable_msix path to pinpoint where it's going wrong.
