nic driver error info

Description of problem:
Nic driver doesn't work when guest is in IRQ mode on virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-93. Downgrade virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-90, network works happily. It is virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-91 that introduces the issue.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.10.0-143.el7.x86_64
virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-93
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-3.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot guest with vectors=0
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm  \
    -name 'virt-tests-vm1' \
    -nodefaults \
    -drive file='/home/kvm_autotest_root/images/win2012r2-64-virtio_blk.raw',if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,media=disk,cache=none,snapshot=off,format=raw,aio=threads \
    -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,drive=drive-virtio-disk1,bootindex=0 \
    -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=idIDrXDG,mac='9a:37:38:38:38:9e',bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,id='idP9hzx9',vectors=0 \
    -netdev tap,id=idIDrXDG \
    -m 4096 \
    -smp 2,cores=1,threads=1,sockets=2 \
    -cpu 'Westmere',+kvm_pv_eoi,+kvm_pv_unhalt,hv_spinlocks=0x1fff,hv_relaxed,hv_vapic,hv_time \
    -M pc \
    -enable-kvm \
    -monitor stdio

2. Check network status in guest.

Actual results:
Network driver error is as follows:
This device can not start.(Code 10)
An invalid parameter was passed to a service or function.

Please check the attachment.

# ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration.

Expected results:
Network driver works happily.

Comment 2 Xiaomei Gao 2014-11-03 09:55:32 UTC
If using regedit.exe to disable network MSI support, the guest will not boot successfully. Downgrade virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-90, it still works well.

Steps:
1. Boot guest.
Boot guest with vectors=0
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm  \
    -name 'virt-tests-vm1' \
    -nodefaults \
    -drive file='/home/kvm_autotest_root/images/win2012r2-64-virtio_blk.raw',if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,media=disk,cache=none,snapshot=off,format=raw,aio=threads \
    -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,drive=drive-virtio-disk1,bootindex=0 \
    -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=idIDrXDG,mac='9a:37:38:38:38:9e',bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,id='idP9hzx9'\
    -netdev tap,id=idIDrXDG \
    -m 4096 \
    -smp 2,cores=1,threads=1,sockets=2 \
    -cpu 'Westmere',+kvm_pv_eoi,+kvm_pv_unhalt,hv_spinlocks=0x1fff,hv_relaxed,hv_vapic,hv_time \
    -M pc \
    -enable-kvm \
    -monitor stdio

2. Look under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1000&SUBSYS_00011AF4&REV_00\3&13c0b0c5&0&30 for a key called MessageSignaledInterruptProperties and change MSISupported value to 0 (zero).

3. Restart the guest.

Results:
Guest can't boot successfully and please check the attachment.

Vadim, could you help to check if they are the same issue with comment 0?

Adding Yan, to take a look at the issue.
Thanks,

Comment 9 lijin 2015-03-31 09:48:49 UTC
Reproduced this issue on build 93
Verified this issue on build 102

Steps:
1.boot guest with vectors=0
2.check network status in guest
3.shutdown guest and boot again without vectors=0
4.set MSISupported value to zero in Register
5.reboot guest
    
Actual Results:
on build 93,network is not valid in step 2 and guest bsod after step5
on build 102,network works normally after step2 and step5

Based on above ,this issue has been fixed already.
