Yes, it still works. Now it looks orthodox: cat << EOF | ./qemu-system-x86_64 -display none -machine accel=qtest \ -machine q35 -nodefaults -drive file=null-co://,if=none,format=raw,id=disk0 \ -device nvme,drive=disk0,serial=1 -qtest stdio \ outl 0xcf8 0x80000810 /* MLBAR (BAR0) – Memory Register Base Address, lower 32-bits */ outl 0xcfc 0xe0000000 /* MMIO Base Address = 0xe0000000 */ outl 0xcf8 0x80000804 /* CMD - Command */ outw 0xcfc 0x06 /* Bus Master Enable, Memory Space Enable */ write 0x1000 0x1 0x02 /* cmd->opcode, NVME_ADM_CMD_GET_LOG_PAGE, nvme_get_log() */ write 0x1018 0x4 0x140000e0 /* prp1 = 0xe0000014, NVME_REG_CC, nvme_ctrl_reset() */ write 0x1028 0x4 0x03000004 /* cmd->cdw10, lid = 3 NVME_LOG_FW_SLOT_INFO, nvme_fw_log_info, buf_len = 4 */ write 0x1030 0x4 0xfc010000 /* cmd->cdw12 = 0x1fc, Log Page Offset, trans_len = sizeof(fw_log) - 0x1fc = 4 */ write 0xe0000024 0x4 0x02000200 /* [3] 3.1.8, Admin Queue Attributes */ write 0xe0000028 0x4 0x00100000 /* asq = 0x1000 */ write 0xe0000030 0x4 0x00200000 /* acq = 0x2000 */ write 0xe0000014 0x4 0x01004600 /* [3] 3.1.5, Controller Configuration, start ctrl */ write 0xe0001000 0x1 0x01 /* [3] 3.1.24, SQyTDBL – Submission Queue y Tail Doorbell */ clock_step EOF I also wrote a PoC in the guest OS which led to worse result, but the QTest reproducer may be enough. ________________________________ From: Klaus Jensen Sent: Friday, December 17, 2021 16:37 To: Qiuhao Li Cc: Alexander Bulekov; qemu-devel@nongnu.org; Laurent Vivier; Peter Maydell; Mauro Matteo Cascella; Daniel P.

It seems this patch sets and checks if the destination device is busy. But how about the data transfers not triggered directly by PMIO/MMIO handlers? For example: > > 1.

Maybe we should log the source and check the destination when we launch data transfers.

Should we put the reproducer above to https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/556? > This is a good reproducer. Does it still work if you do the `write 0xe0001000 0x1 0x01` at the end instead? It looks weird that you ring the doorbell prior to writing the command in the queue.
