      qemu: make PCI multifunction support more manual · c329db71
      Laine Stump 提交于
      When support for was added for PCI multifunction cards (in commit
      9f8baf, first included in libvirt 0.9.3), it was done by always
      turning on the multifunction bit for all PCI devices. Since that time
      it has been realized that this is not an ideal solution, and that the
      multifunction bit must be selectively turned on. For example, see
      
        https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728174
      
      and the discussion before and after
      
        https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-September/msg01036.html
      
      This patch modifies multifunction support so that the multifunction=on
      option is only added to the qemu commandline for a device if its PCI
      <address> definition has the attribute "multifunction='on'", e.g.:
      
        <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
                 slot='0x04' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/>
      
      In practice, the multifunction bit should only be turned on if
      function='0' AND other functions will be used in the same slot - it
      usually isn't needed for functions 1-7 (although there are apparently
      some exceptions, e.g. the Intel X53 according to the QEMU source
      code), and should never be set if only function 0 will be used in the
      slot. The test cases have been changed accordingly to illustrate.
      
      With this patch in place, if a user attempts to assign multiple
      functions in a slot without setting the multifunction bit for function
      0, libvirt will issue an error when the domain is defined, and the
      define operation will fail. In the future, we may decide to detect
      this situation and automatically add multifunction=on to avoid the
      error; even then it will still be useful to have a manual method of
      turning on multifunction since, as stated above, there are some
      devices that excpect it to be turned on for all functions in a slot.
      
      A side effect of this patch is that attempts to use the same PCI
      address for two different devices will now log an error (previously
      this would cause the domain define operation to fail, but there would
      be no log message generated). Because the function doing this log was
      almost completely rewritten, I didn't think it worthwhile to make a
      separate patch for that fix (the entire patch would immediately be
      obsoleted).
