pci passthrough doesn´t work

[steo]

Hi all,

I have some problems passing through a pci device to kvm guest.
First I have to say that I´m using the latest kvm-kernel und qemu-kvm from git-tree (Date 11.06.2011).

I want´t to passthrough this device to guest:

lspci-output:

02:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Micronas Semiconductor Holding AG Device 0720 (rev 01)

So at first I have bind the driver to psi-stub:

modprobe -r kvm-intel
modprobe -r kvm
echo "18c3 0720" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/new_id
echo 0000:02:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:00.0/driver/unbind
echo 0000:02:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/bind
modprobe kvm
modprobe kvm-intel

Then I have assigned device to guest:
-device pci-assign,host=02:00.0

When I start the guest. The device succesfully get´s an msi-IRQ on host-system:

cat /proc/interrupt output:

 32: 0 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge kvm_assigned_msi_device

On guest device is visibel:

lspci output:
00:04.0 Multimedia video controller: Micronas Semiconductor Holding AG Device 0720 (rev 01)

Sometimes the device (on guest) get´s an IRQ between 10-16:

In this case the kernel-modul (ngene) can not access the device:

Sometimes the device (on guest) gets an msi-irq f. e. IRQ 29.
Then kernel-modul (ngene) can succesfully load the driver and all works fine.

Short to say:

HOST GUEST STATUS
MSI-IRQ MSI-IRQ ALL FINE
MSI-IRQ IOAPIC-IRQ DOESN´t WORK

with modinfo I had a look at the kernel-modul if there is way to force msi, but without success.

But I think IRQ between (10-16) should also work because when I load the kernel-modul on host with IRQ (10-16)
it works. (Device only get´s an MSI-IRQ If I start the vm to passthrough)

Do anyone know where can be the problem?

Triaging old bug tickets ... can you still reproduce this problem with the latest version of QEMU? Or can we close this ticket nowadays?
