[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1813940] [NEW] kvm_mem_ioeventfd_add: error adding ioeventfd: No space left on device

[Darek Stojaczyk]

Public bug reported:

Latest QEMU master fails to run with too many MMIO devices specified.

After patch 3ac7d43a6fb [1] QEMU just prints an error message and exits.
> kvm_mem_ioeventfd_add: error adding ioeventfd: No space left on device

This is reproducible e.g. with the following setup:

qemu-3.1.50-dirty \
    -machine pc-i440fx-2.7,accel=kvm \
    -cpu host -m 4096 \
    -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 \
    -drive file=freebsd_vm_1.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=bootdr \
    -device ide-hd,drive=bootdr,bootindex=0 \
    -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=vc0 \
    -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=vc1 \
    -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=vc2 \
    -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=vc3 \

Running with just 3 Virtio-SCSI controllers seems to work fine, adding
more than that causes the error above. Note that this is not Virtio-SCSI
specific. I've also reproduced this without any Virtio devices
whatsoever.

strace shows the following ioctl chain over and over:

145787 ioctl(11, KVM_UNREGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO, 0x7f60a4985410) = 0
145787 ioctl(11, KVM_UNREGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO, 0x7f60a4985410) = 0
145787 ioctl(11, KVM_REGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO, 0x7f60a49853b0) = 0
145787 ioctl(11, KVM_REGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO, 0x7f60a49853b0) = -1 ENOSPC (No 
space left on device)
145787 ioctl(11, KVM_REGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO, 0x7f60a49853b0) = -1 ENOSPC (No 
space left on device)
145787 ioctl(11, KVM_REGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO, 0x7f60a49853b0) = -1 ENOSPC (No 
space left on device)
145787 ioctl(11, KVM_REGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO, 0x7f60a49853b0) = -1 ENOSPC (No

145787 ioctl(11, KVM_REGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO, 0x7f60a49853b0) = -1 ENOSPC (No

145787 ioctl(11, KVM_REGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO, 0x7f60a49853b0) = -1 ENOSPC (No 
space left on device)
145787 ioctl(11, KVM_REGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO, 0x7f60a49853b0) = -1 ENOSPC (No 
space left on device)

Which suggests there's some kind of MMIO region leak.
