PATCH RESEND 1/1 xen/pt: allow QEMU to request MSI unmasking at bind time

When a MSI interrupt is bound to a guest using xc_domain_update_msi_irq (XEN_DOMCTL_bind_pt_irq) the interrupt is left masked by default.

This causes problems with guests that first configure interrupts and clean the per-entry MSIX table mask bit and afterwards enable MSIX globally. In such scenario the Xen internal msixtbl handlers would not detect the unmasking of MSIX entries because vectors are not yet registered since MSIX is not enabled, and vectors would be left masked.

Introduce a new flag in the gflags field to signal Xen whether a MSI interrupt should be unmasked after being bound.

This also requires to track the mask register for MSI interrupts, so QEMU can also notify to Xen whether the MSI interrupt should be bound masked or unmasked

Quoted 3 lines

When a MSI interrupt is bound to a guest using xc_domain_update_msi_irq (XEN_DOMCTL_bind_pt_irq) the interrupt is left masked by default.

Applied, and pushed the corresponding update to QEMU_TAG in qemu-xen-unstable.

Does this patch need to be backported to earlier Xen releases ? It wasn't clear to me whether there is new Xen code in this area without which the problem (which the patch solves) does not arise; or whether, conversely, simply running a new guest is sufficient.

Ian.

Good question. In the earlier thread about this patch it was mentioned the bug happens with latest stable version of Xen, which sounds like this patch should be backported to stable Xen versions. Is that correct?

Ian, Pasi,

Right. We have this mail thread where the issue was originally reported:
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2017-07/msg00915.html

And the follow-up with the patches for Xen and QEMU (not traditional):
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2018-05/msg01238.html

"Hm, I think I might have fixed this issue, see:

https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=a8036336609d2e184fc3543a4c439c0ba7d7f3a2

And the Xen side:

http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=69d99d1b223fc5082400374698ddd7486e5ea953"

The Xen patch above is present in the tree from 4.10.0-rc1 tag forward.

Thanks for feedback. Anything I can help further, we can discuss about it.
