subj is calling kvm_add_routing_entry() which simply extends
KVMState::irq_routes::entries[]
but doesn't check if number of routes goes beyond limit the kernel
is willing to accept. Which later leads toi the assert
qemu-kvm: ../accel/kvm/kvm-all.c:1833: kvm_irqchip_commit_routes: Assertion `ret == 0' failed
typically it happens during guest boot for large enough guest
Reproduced with:
./qemu --enable-kvm -m 8G -smp 64 -machine pc \
`for b in {1..2}; do echo -n "-device pci-bridge,id=pci$b,chassis_nr=$b ";
for i in {0..31}; do touch /tmp/vblk$b$i;
echo -n "-drive file=/tmp/vblk$b$i,if=none,id=drive$b$i,format=raw
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive$b$i,bus=pci$b ";
done; done`
While crash at boot time is bad, the same might happen at hotplug time
which is unacceptable.
So instead calling kvm_add_routing_entry() unconditionally, check first
that number of routes won't exceed KVM_CAP_IRQ_ROUTING. This way virtio
device insteads killin qemu, will gracefully fail to initialize device
as expected with following warnings on console:
virtio-blk failed to set guest notifier (-28), ensure -accel kvm is set.
virtio_bus_start_ioeventfd: failed. Fallback to userspace (slower).
