Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Alex Williamson 2013-10-31 19:06:52 UTC 
Description of problem:
VFIO is missing affinity support for MSI (MSI-X is already present)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to change IRQ affinity of a vfio-pci assigned device using MSI interrupts
2.
3.

Actual results:
interrupted vcpu unchanged

Expected results:
interrupted vcpu tracks user request

Fix included in qemu-kvm-1.5.3-17.el7
Comment 4 Xu Han 2013-11-18 06:51:22 UTC 
Reproduce this bug with components:
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-16.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1. boot guest with vfio-pci assigned device using MSI interrupts(82579LM NIC).
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -nodefaults -M q35 -m 1G -cpu SandyBridge -smp 4,cores=2,threads=2,sockets=1 -monitor stdio -boot menu=on -rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew -qmp tcp:0:5555,server,nowait -vga qxl -drive file=/home/rhel7base.qcow2,format=qcow2,id=guest-img,if=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,drive=guest-img,id=os-disk -spice disable-ticketing,port=5931 \
-device vfio-pci,host=00:19.0,id=hostnet

2. get IRQ num and affinity of vfio-pci assigned device.
# cat /proc/interrupts | grep ens3
# cat /proc/irq/43/smp_affinity

3. change IRQ affinity of that device.
# echo 2 > /proc/irq/43/smp_affinity

Results:
After step1, check msi information on guest.
# lspci -vvv -s 00:03.0 | grep -i msi
	Capabilities: [d0] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+

After step2
# cat /proc/interrupts | grep ens3
 43:      50821          0          0          0   PCI-MSI-edge      ens3
# cat /proc/irq/43/smp_affinity
4

After step3, interrupted vcpu unchanged.
# cat /proc/irq/43/smp_affinity
4
# cat /proc/interrupts | grep ens3
 43:      51947          0          0          0   PCI-MSI-edge      ens3


Verify this bug with component:
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-19.el7.x86_64

Same steps as above.

Results:
After step2
# cat /proc/interrupts | grep ens3
 43:      43186          0        453          0   PCI-MSI-edge      ens3
# cat /proc/irq/43/smp_affinity
1

After step3, interrupted vcpu tracks user request.
# cat /proc/irq/43/smp_affinity
2
# cat /proc/interrupts | grep ens3
 43:      44167       2881        453          0   PCI-MSI-edge      ens3


Base on these test results above, this bug has been fixed.
