Subject: [Qemu-devel] Minor regression with kvm ioapic, gsi >= 16
Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2012 20:55:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F3D5123.1020209@redhat.com> (raw)

kvm-unit-tests.git x86/apic.flat is failing ioapic tests with

qemu-system-x86_64 -vnc :99 -device testdev,chardev=x -chardev null,id=x
-smp 2 -kernel ./x86/apic.flat  -serial stdio
...
ioapic interrupt: FAIL
ioapic simultaneous interrupt: FAIL

This happens because the test is invoking gsi 16, which is handled by
the non-kvm ioapic instead of the kvm ioapic.

    qemu-kvm: Fix GSI handling with in-kernel irqchip
   
    Interrupt routing with in-kernel irqchip was always a mess. Now this
    increased after latest upstream merge: we started to call ioapic_set_irq
    also for kernel-handled interrupts.
   
    Reduce this mess again by using the upstream kvm_piix3_gsi_handler. It
    is aware of the PIIX3-specific routing in KVM mode and won't call into
    the user space APIC model (as we do not raise IRQs >= ISA_NUM_IRQS with
    the PIIX3).

The obvious fix would be to start using upstream's kvm-ioapic, but you
haven't, why?

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
