Eric recently identified an issue[1] where during graceful shutdown of a VM in a vIOMMU configuration, the guest driver places the device into the D3 power state, the vIOMMU is then disabled, triggering an AddressSpace update. The device BARs are still mapped into the AS, but the vfio host driver refuses to DMA map the MMIO space due to the device power state.
The proposed solution in [1] was to skip mappings based on the device power state. Here we take a different approach. The PCI spec defines that devices in D1/2/3 power state should respond only to configuration and message requests and all other requests should be handled as an Unsupported Request. In other words, the memory and IO BARs are not accessible except when the device is in the D0 power state. To emulate this behavior, we can factor the device power state into the mapping state of the device BARs. Therefore the BAR is marked as unmapped if either the respective command register enable bit is clear or the device is not in the D0 power state. In order to implement this, the PowerState field of the PMCSR register becomes writable, which allows the device to appear in lower power states. This also therefore implements D3 support (insofar as the BAR behavior) for all devices implementing the PM capability. The PCI spec requires D3 support. An aspect that needs attention here is whether this change in the wmask and PMCSR bits becomes a problem for migration, and how we might solve it. For a guest migrating old->new, the device would always be in the D0 power state, but the register becomes writable. In the opposite direction, is it possible that a device could migrate in a low power state and be stuck there since the bits are read-only in old QEMU? Do we need an option for this behavior and a machine state bump, or are there alternatives?
