    virtio: set ISR on dataplane notifications · 83d768b5
    Paolo Bonzini 提交于
    Dataplane has been omitting forever the step of setting ISR when
    an interrupt is raised.  This caused little breakage, because the
    specification actually says that ISR may not be updated in MSI mode.
    
    Some versions of the Windows drivers however didn't clear MSI mode
    correctly, and proceeded using polling mode (using ISR, not the used
    ring index!) for crashdump and hibernation.  If it were just crashdump
    and hibernation it would not be a big deal, but recent releases of
    Windows do not really shut down, but rather log out and hibernate to
    make the next startup faster.  Hence, this manifested as a more serious
    hang during shutdown with e.g. Windows 8.1 and virtio-win 1.8.0 RPMs.
    Newer versions fixed this, while older versions do not use MSI at all.
    
    The failure has always been there for virtio dataplane, but it became
    visible after commits 9ffe337c ("virtio-blk: always use dataplane path
    if ioeventfd is active", 2016-10-30) and ad07cd69 ("virtio-scsi: always
    use dataplane path if ioeventfd is active", 2016-10-30) made virtio-blk
    and virtio-scsi always use the dataplane code under KVM.  The good news
    therefore is that it was not a bug in the patches---they were doing
    exactly what they were meant for, i.e. shake out remaining dataplane bugs.
    
    The fix is not hard, so it's worth arranging for the broken drivers.
    The virtio_should_notify+event_notifier_set pair that is common to
    virtio-blk and virtio-scsi dataplane is replaced with a new public
    function virtio_notify_irqfd that also sets ISR.  The irqfd emulation
    code now need not set ISR anymore, so virtio_irq is removed.
