[PATCH] xen: do not re-use pirq number cached in pci device msi msg data

From: Dan Streetman
Date: Thu Jan 05 2017 - 14:32:25 EST


Do not read a pci device's msi message data to see if a pirq was
previously configured for the device's msi/msix, as the old pirq was
unmapped and may now be in use by another pci device. The previous
pirq should never be re-used; instead a new pirq should always be
allocated from the hypervisor.

The xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs() function currently checks the pci device's
msi descriptor message data for each msi/msix vector it sets up, and if
it finds the vector was previously configured with a pirq, and that pirq
is mapped to an irq, it re-uses the pirq instead of requesting a new pirq
from the hypervisor. However, that pirq was unmapped when the pci device
disabled its msi/msix, and it cannot be re-used; it may have been given
to a different pci device.

This exact situation is happening in a Xen guest where multiple NVMe
controllers (pci devices) are present. The NVMe driver configures each
pci device's msi/msix twice; first to configure a single vector (to
talk to the controller for its configuration info), and then it disables
that msi/msix and re-configures with all the msi/msix it needs. When
multiple NVMe controllers are present, this happens concurrently on all
of them, and in the time between controller A calling pci_disable_msix()
and then calling pci_enable_msix_range(), controller B enables its msix
and gets controller A's pirq allocated from the hypervisor. Then when
controller A re-configures its msix, its first vector tries to re-use
the same pirq that it had before; but that pirq was allocated to
controller B, and thus the Xen event channel for controller A's re-used
pirq fails to map its irq to that pirq; the hypervisor already has the
pirq mapped elsewhere.
