Nilay reported that since commit daaa574aba6f ("powerpc/pseries/msi: Switch to msi_create_parent_irq_domain()"), the NVMe driver cannot enable MSI-X when the device's MSI-X table size is larger than the firmware's MSI quota for the device. This is because the commit changes how rtas_prepare_msi_irqs() is called: - Before, it is called when interrupts are allocated at the global interrupt domain with nvec_in being the number of allocated interrupts. rtas_prepare_msi_irqs() can return a positive number and the allocation will be retried. - Now, it is called at the creation of per-device interrupt domain with nvec_in being the number of interrupts that the device supports. If rtas_prepare_msi_irqs() returns positive, domain creation just fails. For Nilay's NVMe driver case, rtas_prepare_msi_irqs() returns a positive number (the quota). This causes per-device interrupt domain creation to fail and thus the NVMe driver cannot enable MSI-X. Rework to make this scenario works again: - pseries_msi_ops_prepare() only prepares as many interrupts as the quota permit. - pseries_irq_domain_alloc() fails if the device's quota is exceeded. Now, if the quota is exceeded, pseries_msi_ops_prepare() will only prepare as allowed by the quota. If device drivers attempt to allocate more interrupts than the quota permits, pseries_irq_domain_alloc() will return an error code and msi_handle_pci_fail() will allow device drivers a retry.

I just tested this change on my system using the latest mainline kernel and it works well for me. So with that, please fell free to add, Tested-by: Nilay Shroff <redacted>
