There are potentially two problems here: One is that the guest may
fail to send the EOI notification. You would want to check whether
pirq_guest_eoi() got run after that last occurrence of the interrupt.

The more worrying part is that Xen should time out on a guest failing
to send the EOI notification, and ack the interrupt nevertheless.
Looking at the code I fail to see how the ack_APIC_irq() would get
sent in this case: non-maskable MSIs get this issued from
end_msi_irq(), but ->end doesn't get invoked from
irq_guest_eoi_timer_fn() (only ->enable does). Keir, am I missing
something?

Otoh I can't see how this can work reliably in the first place: Since
there's no other way to mask such interrupts, sending an ack to the
LAPIC could result in an interrupt storm. Disabling MSI on the
affected device isn't a good option either, as we know there are
devices that switch to legacy IRQ mode irreversibly in that case,
and hence the device becomes unusable (presumably until being
reset). But very likely this would still be better than hanging the
entire box; it probably would just need a more graceful timeout.

This is still happening. I have 2 identical boxes that were running a stress test and both hung after a few hours. They have identical hardware and software configs so I'll report the config for one and attach the xen dump for both.

Let me know if there's anything else I can provide to assist in diagnosing this problem.
