[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] intel_iommu: handle invalid ce for shadow sync

[Peter Xu]

We should handle VTD_FR_CONTEXT_ENTRY_P properly when synchronizing
shadow page tables.  Having invalid context entry there is perfectly
valid when we move a device out of an existing domain.  When that
happens, instead of posting an error we invalidate the whole region.

Without this patch, QEMU will crash if we do these steps:

(1) start QEMU with VT-d IOMMU and two 10G NICs (ixgbe)
(2) bind the NICs with vfio-pci in the guest
(3) start testpmd with the NICs applied
(4) stop testpmd
(5) rebind the NIC back to ixgbe kernel driver

The patch should fix it.
