Your patch can also fix this issue, as using physical pin info for both guest and xen. Only potential issue is that guest will see a single function device is not linked to INTA, say assign 00:1a.7 to guest as 00:4.0. It should work, but seems doesn't comply with PCI spec.

We have 2 options here:
1. always use INTA
2. Use INTA for virtual function 0, and physical value for others.
Options 2 is more friendly to multiple-function device assignment, and is current used.

Hi,

I ran into similar problems last week, and i tried the following fix,
which looks like it kind-of fixed it, does this do the same fix as
your patch?

Here is the patch i used:

Simon,
For the pass-through device's INTx emulation, we follow the policy: if
virtual function 0, use INTA#, otherwise use hardware value. However, this
policy only apply when bind_pt_pci_irq to xen, and always use physical value
when exporting to guest. This discrepancy cause different INTx, thus
different GSI in xen and guest, so that interrupts never got injected to
guest. E.g. when assigning a USB controller with non-zero function(00:1d.2)
to guest as 00:4.0, xen will see INTA#, while guest see INTC#.

This simple patch can fix it. Could you pls. review it?

Thanks,
