SCSI hotplug issues with UEFI VM with guest kernel >= 6.5

From: Fiona Ebner

Hi,
it seems that hot-plugging SCSI disks for QEMU virtual machines booting
with UEFI and with guest kernels >= 6.5 might be broken. It's not
consistently broken, hinting there might be a race somewhere.

Reverting the following two commits seems to make it work reliably again:

cc22522fd55e2 ("PCI: acpiphp: Use
pci_assign_unassigned_bridge_resources() only for non-root bus")
40613da52b13f ("PCI: acpiphp: Reassign resources on bridge if necessary"

Of course, they might only expose some pre-existing issue, but this is
my best lead. See below for some logs and details about an affected
virtual machine. Happy to provide more information and to debug/test
further.

Best Regards,
Fiona

Host kernel: 6.5.11-4-pve which is based on the one from Ubuntu
Guest kernel: 6.7.0-rc3 and 6.7.0-rc3 with above commits reverted
QEMU version: v8.1.0 built from source
EDK2 version: submodule in the QEMU v8.1 repository: edk2-stable202302

I've also tired and added 10 second sleep between the two device_add
commands just to be sure, but that didn't make a difference. (Our
management stack does query via QMP and wait for the device to show up
and is also affected, I was just too lazy to do that for the reproducer
here).

I've attached some logs for guest using kernel 6.7.0-rc3 where hotplug
works rarely and guest using kernel 6.7.0-rc3 with the previously
mentioned commits reverted where hotplug works reliably:

RebootThe one time it did work. Note that the line with "QEMU HARDDISK"
comes after all lines with "bridge window":
