This has been found by running a KVM guest using kvmtool PCI emulation, where the following things happen: - Guest programs a virtual (bogus) interrupt number in the PCI device config space (virtio disk in this case) - kvmtool uses that interrupt number as is, without any other form of validation - Either the injection fails (because the interrupt is out of the range of the virtual interrupt controller) -> virtio PCI device goes dead - or the injection succeeds because this is a valid interrupt number, but signals an unrelated peripheral -> virtio PCI device goes dead. This can be trivially reproduced on any ARM PCI system that requires legacy interrupts (i.e. no MSI support), and that uses a GIC interrupt controller. Doing it in a VM is just much more convenient. Hope this helps, M. -- Jazz is not dead. It just smells funny...
