There are devices (Ex:- Marvell SATA controller) that don't support
64-bit MSIs and the same is advertised through their MSI capability
register. Set no_64bit_msi flag explicitly for such devices in the
MSI setup code so that the msi_verify_entries() API would catch
if the MSI arch code tries to use 64-bit MSI.

This seems good to me.  I'll post a possible revision to set
dev->no_64bit_msi in the device enumeration path instead of in the IRQ
allocation path, since it's really a property of the device, not of
the msi_desc.

I like the extra checking this gives us.  Was this prompted by
tripping over something, or is it something you noticed by code
reading?  If the former, a hint about what was wrong and how it's
being fixed would be useful.
I observed functionality issue with Marvell SATA controller (1b4b:9171) when
the allocated MSI target address was a 64-bit address. I mentioned the
Marvell SATA controller as an example in the commit message.

I know you mentioned the Marvell controller, but apparently that
device is working perfectly correctly: it does not support 64-bit MSI,
and it does not advertise support for 64-bit MSI.

So if there's a functionality issue, that means something is wrong in
Linux that caused us to assign a 64-bit MSI address to it.  *That*
issue is what I want to know about.  Your patch only warns about the
issue; it doesn't fix it.
The issue is in the DWC code. I pushed a generic patch to fix that issue by specifying the limit of MSI target address to 32-bit region. Patch is up for review at http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-pci/patch/20201117165312.25847-1-vidyas@xxxxxxxxxx/


I don't think there's any point in specifically mentioning the Marvell
device if it is working correctly, because the same issue should
affect *any* device that doesn't support 64-bit MSI.  But if there's
some arch code that incorrectly assigns a 64-bit address, it would
definitely be useful to specify the arch.  And hopefully there's a fix
for that arch code, too.
