[PATCH] virtio-pci: Add MSI support

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

 



Virtio spec has so far only supported MSI-X and INTX for receiving the
interrupts from the virtio device on PCI transport. But this becomes a
limiting factor for devices supporting only MSI (plus INTX emulation) as
they have to use the legacy INTX emulation which is limited to one IRQ per
PCIe function.

But this now addressed with the help of a proposal to the Virtio spec
adding MSI support [1]. Based on that, let's implement MSI support in the
virtio-pci driver.

The Virtio spec proposal reuses the existing MSI-X infrastructure, like the
config_msix_vector/queue_msix_vector fields of the Virito common config
structure. Following that, MSI support in virtio-pci driver is also added
on top of the existing MSI-X implementation and it mostly reuses the MSI-X
code base. The existing vp_find_vqs_msix() API is modified to support MSI
along with MSI-X.

The preference for interrupt allocation is still given to MSI-X as per the
spec. The driver will try to allocate MSI only if both of the MSI-X
allocations (one vector for each queue and 2 vectors) fails. As like MSI-X,
driver will try to allocate one MSI vector for each queue first, and if
that fails, it will try to allocate 2 vectors (one for config queue and one
shared for queues). If both of them fails, driver will fallback to the
legacy INTX as usual.

For keeping the changes minimal, existing 'virtio_pci_device::msix_enabled'
flag is used to indicate the status of MSI and MSI-X. Rest of the MSI-X
functionalities such as IRQ affinity are also reused for MSI (but the
affinity setting really depends on the underlying IRQCHIP controller).
