If MSI doesn't support per-vector masking capability and
PCI_MSI_FLAGS_MASKBIT isn't set in message control field, the function
vfio_pci_msi_vector_write() will directly bail out for this case and
every vector's 'virt_state' keeps setting bit VFIO_PCI_MSI_STATE_MASKED.

This results in the state maintained in 'virt_state' cannot really
reflect the MSI hardware state; finally it will mislead the function
vfio_pci_update_msi_entry() to skip IRQ forwarding with below flow:

vfio_pci_update_msi_entry() {

  [...]

  if (msi_is_masked(entry->virt_state) == msi_is_masked(entry->phys_state))
      return 0;  ==> skip IRQ forwarding

  [...]
}

To fix this issue, when detect PCI_MSI_FLAGS_MASKBIT is not set in the
message control field, this patch simply clears bit
VFIO_PCI_MSI_STATE_MASKED for all vectors 'virt_state'; at the end
vfio_pci_update_msi_entry() can forward MSI IRQ successfully.

Just remind, this patch is for kvmtool but not for kernel.  Sorry I
forget to add it in subject.

Thanks,

Gentle ping.  Not sure if this patch is reasonable, could you help to
give a review?

This seems like the wrong place for this fix.
vfio_pci_msi_vector_write() is called every time the guest pokes the MSI
capability, and checks whether the access was on the Mask Bits Register.
If the function doesn't support per-vector masking, then the register
isn't implemented and we shouldn't do anything here.

To fix the problem I think we need to set masked(virt_state) properly at
init time, instead of blindly setting it to true. In fact from the
guest's point of view, MSIs and MSI-X are unmasked (and disabled) at
boot, so you could always set masked(virt_state) to false, but it may be
safer to copy the actual state of the MSI's Mask Bits into virt_state,
since for MSI, it could be non zero. If per-vector masking isn't
supported, then the virt state should be false.

Thanks,
Jean
