There are two parts:
1) init or changing the data and address of MSI:
1) qemu-xen: hw/passthrough.c: pt_msg.*_write, MSI access are
trapped here first. And then pt_update_msi in
hw/pt-msi.c is called to update the MSI binding.
2) xen: drivers/passthrough/io.c: pt_irq_create_bind_vtd,
where MSI is actually bound to the guest.
2) on MSI reception:
In drivers/passthrough/io.c, hvm_do_IRQ_dpci and hvm_dirq_assist
are the routines responsible for handling all assigned irqs
(including MSI), and if an MSI is received, vmsi_deliver in
arch/x86/vmsi.c get called to deliver MSI to the corresponding
vlapic.
And I just learned from Xiantao Zhang that for the guest Linux kernel,
it enables per-cpu vector if it's in physical mode, and that looks more
likely relevant to this problem. It had problem in the older xen to
handle this, and changeset 20253 is supposed to fix it, although I
noticed your xen version is 20270.
Thanks,
Qing
