Subject: [PATCH v3] iommu/vt-d: Fix IQE handling to cover all descriptors in submission range
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 22:19:58 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914141958.584919-1-guanghuifeng@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2c0d1b6d-6844-4413-b399-1000cc6712e4@linux.intel.com>
When an Invalidation Queue Error (IQE) occurs, hardware halts fetching
and IQH points at the faulting descriptor. The previous code only
checked whether IQH matched the first descriptor index of the current
submission, missing faults on any other descriptor within the batch.
Expand the check to cover the entire submission range [index, wait_index],
accounting for circular wrap-around.
Furthermore, after detecting IQE, the old recovery only replaced the
single faulting slot with a copy of the wait descriptor and immediately
returned -EINVAL. This left two problems:
a) Hardware resumed fetching and could hit another invalid descriptor
in the same abandoned batch, raising a second IQE that no submitter
would claim — permanently deadlocking the queue.
b) The caller reclaimed all batch slots (QI_FREE) while hardware might
still be asynchronously processing descriptors from that batch,
allowing concurrent overwrite and descriptor corruption.
Fix both by introducing qi_drain_remaining_descs(): upon IQE detection,
overwrite the stranded slots in [IQH, wait_index) with no-op wait
descriptors, resubmit the wait descriptor at wait_index, then clear IQE.
The caller's existing poll loop naturally waits for QI_DONE — which per
VT-d spec §6.5.2.12 is only written after ALL preceding descriptors
complete — guaranteeing hardware has fully drained the batch before
slots are reclaimed.
