During test of one IB card with guest VM, found that, msi is not initialized properly. It turns out __write_msi_msg will do nothing if device current_state is not PCI_D0. And, that pci device does not have pm_cap in guest VM. There is an error in setting of power state to PCI_D0 in pci_enable_device(), but error is not returned for this. Following is code flow: pci_enable_device() --> __pci_enable_device_flags() --> do_pci_enable_device() --> pci_set_power_state() --> __pci_start_power_transition() We have following condition inside __pci_start_power_transition(): if (platform_pci_power_manageable(dev)) { error = platform_pci_set_power_state(dev, state); if (!error) pci_update_current_state(dev, state); } else { error = -ENODEV; /* Fall back to PCI_D0 if native PM is not supported */ if (!dev->pm_cap) dev->current_state = PCI_D0; } Here, from platform_pci_set_power_state(), acpi_pci_set_power_state() is getting called and that is failing with ENODEV because of following condition: if (!handle || ACPI_SUCCESS(acpi_get_handle(handle, "_EJ0",&tmp))) return -ENODEV; Because of that, pci_update_current_state() is not getting called. With this patch, if device power state can not be set via platform_pci_set_power_state and that device does not have native pm support, then PCI device power state will be set to PCI_D0.
