Fix irq route entries exceeding KVM_MAX_IRQ_ROUTES
Last month, we experienced several guests crash(6cores-8cores), qemu logs
display the following messages:
qemu-system-x86_64: /build/qemu-2.1.2/kvm-all.c:976:
kvm_irqchip_commit_routes: Assertion `ret == 0' failed.
After analysis and verification, we can confirm it's irq-balance
daemon(in guest) leads to the assertion failure. Start a 8 core guest with
two disks, execute the following scripts will reproduce the BUG quickly:
irq_affinity.sh
========================================================================
vda_irq_num=25
vdb_irq_num=27
while [ 1 ]
do
for irq in {1,2,4,8,10,20,40,80}
do
echo $irq > /proc/irq/$vda_irq_num/smp_affinity
echo $irq > /proc/irq/$vdb_irq_num/smp_affinity
dd if=/dev/vda of=/dev/zero bs=4K count=100 iflag=direct
dd if=/dev/vdb of=/dev/zero bs=4K count=100 iflag=direct
done
done
========================================================================
QEMU setup static irq route entries in kvm_pc_setup_irq_routing(), PIC and
IOAPIC share the first 15 GSI numbers, take up 23 GSI numbers, but take up
38 irq route entries. When change irq smp_affinity in guest, a dynamic route
entry may be setup, the current logic is: if allocate GSI number succeeds,
a new route entry can be added. The available dynamic GSI numbers is
1021(KVM_MAX_IRQ_ROUTES-23), but available irq route entries is only
986(KVM_MAX_IRQ_ROUTES-38), GSI numbers greater than route entries.
irq-balance's behavior will eventually leads to total irq route entries
exceed KVM_MAX_IRQ_ROUTES, ioctl(KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING) fail and
kvm_irqchip_commit_routes() trigger assertion failure.
This patch fix the BUG.
