[PATCH 3/3] PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-vntb: Honor MSI-X selection
From: Koichiro Den
Date: Thu Aug 27 2026 - 14:26:40 EST
ntb_hw_epf tries MSI-X first and falls back to MSI. It reports the
result in COMMAND_CONFIGURE_DOORBELL. pci-epf-vntb ignores MSIX_ENABLE,
configures only MSI, and always raises peer doorbells with PCI_IRQ_MSI.
When MSI-X is selected, the host does not program MSI, so raising it can
issue a write to an invalid address. This was observed with an IOMMU
enabled on the RC.
Configure MSI-X when supported and use the selected type for peer
doorbells. Use the hardware-owned layout when available. Otherwise
allocate an EPF-owned Table and PBA in the config BAR. Configure db_count
entries to cover the link event, the reserved slot, and the doorbell
slots.
Fixes: e35f56bb0330 ("PCI: endpoint: Support NTB transfer between RC and EP")
