For testing, I applied the following patch to qemu, converting msix bar to 64 bit. Guest did not seem to crash. I booted Fedora Live CD 32 bit guest on a 32 bit host to level 3 without crash, and verified that the BAR is a 64 bit one, and that I got assigned an address at fe000000. command line I used: qemu-system-x86_64 -bios /scm/seabios/out/bios.bin -snapshot -drive file=qemu-images/f15-test.qcow2,if=none,id=diskid,cache=unsafe -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=diskid -net user -net nic,model=ne2k_pci -cdrom Fedora-15-i686-Live-LXDE.iso At boot prompt type tab and add '3' to kernel command line to have guest boot into a fast text console instead of a graphical one which is very slow. diff --git a/hw/virtio-pci.c b/hw/virtio-pci.c index 2ac87ea..5271394 100644 --- a/hw/virtio-pci.c +++ b/hw/virtio-pci.c @@ -711,7 +711,8 @@ void virtio_init_pci(VirtIOPCIProxy *proxy, VirtIODevice *vdev) memory_region_init(&proxy->msix_bar, "virtio-msix", 4096); if (vdev->nvectors && !msix_init(&proxy->pci_dev, vdev->nvectors, &proxy->msix_bar, 1, 0)) { - pci_register_bar(&proxy->pci_dev, 1, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_SPACE_MEMORY, + pci_register_bar(&proxy->pci_dev, 1, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_SPACE_MEMORY | + PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_TYPE_64, &proxy->msix_bar); } else vdev->nvectors = 0;
