From: Thomas Gleixner <redacted> To allow utilizing the irq domain pointer in struct device it is necessary to make XEN/MSI irq domain compatible. While the right solution would be to truly convert XEN to irq domains, this is an exercise which is not possible for mere mortals with limited XENology. Provide a plain irqdomain wrapper around XEN. While this is blatant violation of the irqdomain design, it's the only solution for a XEN igorant person to make progress on the issue which triggered this change. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <redacted> Acked-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com>I think it broke MSI-X support, because xen_pci_msi_domain_info is lacking a .flags = MSI_FLAGS_PCI_MSIX?
Hm, I think it only actually *broke* with commit 99f3d27976 ("PCI/MSI:
Reject MSI-X early") from November last year. So 6.1 was OK and we have
time to fix it in 6.2.
Confirmed on real Xen at least that a Fedora 37 install with a 6.0.7
kernel works fine, then on upgrading to Rawhide's 6.2-rc3 it dies with
[ 41.498694] ena 0000:00:03.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Failed to enable MSI-X. irq_cnt -524
[ 41.498705] ena 0000:00:03.0: Can not reserve msix vectors
[ 41.498712] ena 0000:00:03.0: Failed to enable and set the admin interrupts

--- Note: This is completely untested, but it compiles so it must be perfect.I'm working on making it simple for you to test that, by hosting Xen HVM guests natively in qemu (under KVM¹). But I'm absolutely not going to try hacking on both guest and host side at the same time when I'm trying to ensure compatibility — that way lies madness. So for now I'm going to test qemu with older kernels, and maybe someone (Jürgen}? can test MSI-X to PIRQ support under real Xen?) FWIW if I add the missing MSI_FLAGS_PCI_MSIX flag then under my qemu I get: 38: 3180 0 xen-pirq -msi-x ens4-rx-0 39: 0 3610 xen-pirq -msi-x ens4-tx-0 40: 1 0 xen-pirq -msi-x ens4 But without the flags I get: [ 8.464212] e1000e 0000:00:04.0 ens4: Failed to initialize MSI interrupts. Falling back to legacy interrupts. ¹ https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20230110122042.1562155-1-dwmw2@infradead.org/ (local)
