It was traced down to virtio-console. Kexec works fine if virtio-console
is not in use.

Looks like virtio-console continues to write to the MMIO even after
underlying virtio-pci device is removed.

The problem can be mitigated by removing all virtio devices on virtio
bus shutdown.

Gentle ping on that patch that seems to have fallen though the cracks.

I think this fix is really needed. I have another test case with a
rebooting guest exposed with virtio-net (backed by vhost-net) and
viommu. Since there is currently no shutdown for the virtio-net, on
reboot, the IOMMU is disabled through the native_machine_shutdown()/
x86_platform.iommu_shutdown() while the virtio-net is still alive.

Normally device_shutdown() should call virtio-net shutdown before the
IOMMU tear down and we wouldn't see any spurious transactions after
iommu shutdown.

With that fix, the above test case is fixed and I do not see spurious
vhost IOTLB miss spurious requests.

For more details, see qemu thread ([PATCH] hw/virtio/vhost: Disable
IOTLB callbacks when IOMMU gets disabled,
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250120173339.865681-1-eric.auger@xxxxxxxxxx/)

I am concerned that full remove is a heavyweight operation.
Do not want to slow down reboots even more.
How about just doing a reset, instead?

I tested with

static void virtio_dev_shutdown(struct device *_d)
{
struct virtio_device *dev = dev_to_virtio(_d);

virtio_reset_device(dev);
}


and it fixes my issue.

Kirill, would that fix you issue too?

Hi,

sorry for my late response, I synced with Kirill offline and did a retest.

The issue is still reproduced on my side, kexec will be stuck in case of "console=hvc0" append in kernel cmdline and even with such patch applied.

my kernel code base is 6.14.0-rc2.

let me know if any more experiments needed.

gentle ping.

this also fixes another issue with qemu vSMMU + virtio-scsi-pci. With
the above addition I get rid of spurious warning in qemu on guest reboot.

qemu-system-aarch64: virtio: zero sized buffers are not allowed
qemu-system-aarch64: vhost vring error in virtqueue 0: Invalid argument (22)

Would you mind if I respin?
