* [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio-serial: Allow one MSI-X vector per virtqueue @ 2011-12-16 1:14 zanghongyong 2011-12-16 9:39 ` Amit Shah 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: zanghongyong @ 2011-12-16 1:14 UTC (permalink / raw) To: qemu-devel Cc: aliguori, wusongwei, kvm, hanweidong, rusty, xiaowei.yang, Hongyong Zang, jiangningyu, amit.shah From: Hongyong Zang <zanghongyong@huawei.com> In pci_enable_msix(), the guest's virtio-serial driver tries to set msi-x with one vector per queue. But it fails and eventually all virtio-serial ports share one MSI-X vector. Because every virtio-serial port has *two* virtqueues, virtio-serial needs (port+1)*2 vectors other than (port+1). This patch allows every virtqueue to have its own MSI-X vector. (When the MSI-X vectors needed are more than MSIX_MAX_ENTRIES defined in qemu: msix.c, all the queues still share one MSI-X vector as before.)

In that case, I believe msix_init() should be changed to attempt to share interrupts instead of drivers doing this by themselves. Amit ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Or we may change the MSIX_MAX_ENTRIES defined in misx.c: It allocs one page for the msix table(reserve second half of the page for pending bits), and one table entry only needs four DWORDs in PCI SPEC, so I think the max entries could be 128 instead of 32. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
