When configured for interrupts (property "chardev" given), we receive
the shared memory from an ivshmem server. We do so asynchronously
after realize() completes, by setting up callbacks with
qemu_chr_add_handlers().
Keeping server I/O out of realize() that way avoids delays due to a
slow server. This is probably relevant only for hot plug.
However, this funny "no shared memory, yet" state of the device also
causes a raft of issues that are hard or impossible to work around:
* The guest is exposed to this state: when we enter and leave it its
shared memory contents is apruptly replaced, and device register
IVPosition changes.
This is a known issue. We document that guests should not access
the shared memory after device initialization until the IVPosition
register becomes non-negative.
For cold plug, the funny state is unlikely to be visible in
practice, because we normally receive the shared memory long before
the guest gets around to mess with the device.
For hot plug, the timing is tighter, but the relative slowness of
PCI device configuration has a good chance to hide the funny state.
In either case, guests complying with the documented procedure are
safe.
* Migration becomes racy.
If migration completes before the shared memory setup completes on
the source, shared memory contents is silently lost. Fortunately,
migration is rather unlikely to win this race.
If the shared memory's ramblock arrives at the destination before
shared memory setup completes, migration fails.
There is no known way for a management application to wait for
shared memory setup to complete.
All you can do is retry failed migration. You can improve your
chances by leaving more time between running the destination QEMU
and the migrate command.
To mitigate silent memory loss, you need to ensure the server
initializes shared memory exactly the same on source and
destination.
These issues are entirely undocumented so far.
I'd expect the server to be almost always fast enough to hide these
issues. But then rare catastrophic races are in a way the worst kind.
This is way more trouble than I'm willing to take from any device.
Kill the funny state by receiving shared memory synchronously in
realize(). If your hot plug hangs, go kill your ivshmem server.
For easier review, this commit only makes the receive synchronous, it
doesn't add the necessary error propagation. Without that, the funny
state persists. The next commit will do that, and kill it off for
real.

close_peer_eventfds() cleans up three things: ioeventfd triggers if
they exist, eventfds, and the array to store them.
Commit 98609cd (v1.2.0) fixed it not to clean up ioeventfd triggers
when they don't exist (property ioeventfd=off, which is the default).
Unfortunately, the fix also made it skip cleanup of the eventfds and
the array then. This is a memory and file descriptor leak on unplug.
Additionally, the reset of nb_eventfds is skipped. Doesn't matter on
unplug. On peer disconnect, however, this permanently wedges the
interrupt vectors used for that peer's ID. The eventfds stay behind,
but aren't connected to a peer anymore. When the ID gets recycled for
a new peer, the new peer's eventfds get assigned to vectors after the
old ones. Commonly, the device's number of vectors matches the
server's, so the new ones get dropped with a "Too many eventfd
received" message. Interrupts either don't work (common case) or go
to the wrong vector.
Fix by narrowing the conditional to just the ioeventfd trigger
cleanup.
While there, move the "invalid" peer check to the only caller where it
can actually happen, and tighten it to reject own ID.

ivshmem_read() processes server messages. These are 64 bit signed
integers. -1 is shared memory setup, 16 bit unsigned is a peer ID,
anything else is invalid.
ivshmem_read() rejects invalid negative messages right away, silently.
Invalid positive messages get rejected only in resize_peers(), and
ivshmem_read() then prints the rather cryptic message "failed to
resize peers array".
Extend the first check to cover all invalid messages, make it report
"server sent invalid message", and drop the second check.
Now resize_peers() can't fail anymore; simplify.

An interrupt is set up when the interrupt's file descriptor is
received. Each message applies to the next interrupt vector.
Therefore, each vector cannot be set up more than once.
ivshmem_add_kvm_msi_virq() half-heartedly tries not to rely on this by
doing nothing then, but that's not going to recover from this error
should it become possible in the future. watch_vector_notifier()
doesn't even try.

The ivshmem device can either use MSI-X or legacy INTx for interrupts.
With MSI-X enabled, peer interrupt events trigger an MSI as they
should. But software can still raise INTx via interrupt status and
mask register in BAR 0. This is explicitly prohibited by PCI Local
Bus Specification Revision 3.0, section 6.8.3.3:
While enabled for MSI or MSI-X operation, a function is prohibited
from using its INTx# pin (if implemented) to request service (MSI,
MSI-X, and INTx# are mutually exclusive).
Fix the device model to leave INTx alone when using MSI-X.
Document that we claim to use INTx in config space even when we don't.
Unlike other devices, ivshmem does *not* use INTx when configured for
MSI-X and MSI-X isn't enabled by software.

There are three predicates related to MSI-X:
* ivshmem_has_feature(s, IVSHMEM_MSI) is true unless the non-MSI-X
variant of the device is selected with msi=off.
* msix_present() is true when the device has the PCI capability MSI-X.
It's initially false, and becomes true during successful realize of
the MSI-X variant of the device. Thus, it's the same as
ivshmem_has_feature(s, IVSHMEM_MSI) for realized devices.
* msix_enabled() is true when msix_present() is true and guest software
has enabled MSI-X.
Code that differs between the non-MSI-X and the MSI-X variant of the
device needs to be guarded by ivshmem_has_feature(s, IVSHMEM_MSI) or
by msix_present(), except the latter works only for realized devices.
Code that depends on whether MSI-X is in use needs to be guarded with
msix_enabled().
Code review led me to two minor messes:
* ivshmem_vector_notify() calls msix_notify() even when
!msix_enabled(), unlike most other MSI-X-capable devices. As far as
I can tell, msix_notify() does nothing when !msix_enabled(). Add
the guard anyway.
* Most callers of ivshmem_use_msix() guard it with
ivshmem_has_feature(s, IVSHMEM_MSI). Not necessary, because
ivshmem_use_msix() does nothing when !msix_present(). That's
ivshmem's only use of msix_present(), though. Guard it
consistently, and drop the now redundant msix_present() check.
While there, rename ivshmem_use_msix() to ivshmem_msix_vector_use().
