[PATCH qemu] spapr_pci: Disable IRQFD resampling on XIVE

[PATCH qemu] spapr_pci: Disable IRQFD resampling on XIVE

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

VFIO-PCI has an "KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_RESAMPLE" optimization for INTx EOI
handling when KVM can unmask PCI INTx (level triggered interrupt) without
switching to the userspace (==QEMU).

Unfortunately XIVE does not support level interrupts, QEMU emulates them
and therefore there is no existing code path to kick the resamplefd.
The problem appears when passing through a PCI adapter with
the "pci=nomsi" kernel parameter - the adapter's interrupt interrupt
count in /proc/interrupts will stuck at "1".

This disables resampler when the XIVE interrupt controller is configured.
This should not be very visible though KVM already exits to QEMU for INTx
and XIVE-capable boxes (POWER9 and newer) do not seem to have
performance-critical INTx-only capable devices.

Cédric, this is what I meant when I said that spapr_pci.c was unaware of
the interrupt controller type, neither xics nor xive was mentioned
in the file before.

That's not correctly phrased I think.

The QEMU XIVE device support LSIs but the POWER9 kernel-irqchips,
KVM XICS-on-XIVE and XIVE native devices, are broken with respect
to passthrough adapters using INTx.

This is testing the availability of the XIVE interrupt mode, but not
the activate controller. See spapr_irq_init() which is called very
early in the machine initialization.

Is that what we want ? Is everything fine if we start the machine with
ic-mode=xics ? On a POWER9 host, this would use the KVM XICS-on-XIVE
device which is broken also AFAICT.

You should extend the SpaprInterruptControllerClass (for a routine) or
simply SpaprIrq (for a bool) if you need to handle IRQ matters from a
device model.

Thanks,

C.

My bad, I meant "XIVE hardware".

I should probably fix that in KVM, just not quite sure yet how for the 
realmode handlers, or just drop those on P9 and then the fix is trivial.

It is a property of KVM rather than the interrupt controller so it 
probably makes more sense to just stop advertising 
KVM_CAP_IRQFD_RESAMPLE. Hmmm...

ok. It makes more sense.

PSIHB and PHBs have internal latches to maintain the assertion level.
XIVE has none.

I would fix the realmode handlers of the the KVM XICS-on-XIVE device
first. The problem has been there for a while.

Then, for the XIVE native mode, I would simply handle it at the QEMU
level with a 'resample' bool in SpaprIrq. It  would be tested in spapr
pci when configuring the INTx routing.


Thanks,

C.

Are they really used on POWER9? TCE ones are not.

But there is a dedicated CAP advertised by the KVM already which is not 
correct as we know that KVM won't resample.

The HCALLs should be.
