vfio-pci: Re-enable INTx mode when disable MSI/MSIX
Since PCI forbids enabling INTx, MSI or MSIX at the same time, it's by
default to disable INTx mode when enable MSI/MSIX mode; but this logic is
easily broken if the guest PCI driver detects the MSI/MSIX cannot work as
expected and tries to rollback to use INTx mode. In this case, the INTx
mode has been disabled and has no chance to re-enable it, thus both INTx
mode and MSI/MSIX mode cannot work in vfio.
Below shows the detailed flow for introducing this issue:
vfio_pci_configure_dev_irqs()
`-> vfio_pci_enable_intx()
vfio_pci_enable_msis()
`-> vfio_pci_disable_intx()
vfio_pci_disable_msis() => Guest PCI driver disables MSI
To fix this issue, when disable MSI/MSIX we need to check if INTx mode
is available for this device or not; if the device can support INTx then
re-enable it so that the device can fallback to use it.
Since vfio_pci_disable_intx() / vfio_pci_enable_intx() pair functions
may be called for multiple times, this patch uses 'intx_fd == -1' to
denote the INTx is disabled, the pair functions can directly bail out
when detect INTx has been disabled and enabled respectively.
