Paolo Bonzini 83d768b564 virtio: set ISR on dataplane notifications ... Dataplane has been omitting forever the step of setting ISR when an interrupt is raised. This caused little breakage, because the specification actually says that ISR may not be updated in MSI mode. Some versions of the Windows drivers however didn't clear MSI mode correctly, and proceeded using polling mode (using ISR, not the used ring index!) for crashdump and hibernation. If it were just crashdump and hibernation it would not be a big deal, but recent releases of Windows do not really shut down, but rather log out and hibernate to make the next startup faster. Hence, this manifested as a more serious hang during shutdown with e.g. Windows 8.1 and virtio-win 1.8.0 RPMs. Newer versions fixed this, while older versions do not use MSI at all. The failure has always been there for virtio dataplane, but it became visible after commits 9ffe337 ("virtio-blk: always use dataplane path if ioeventfd is active", 2016-10-30) and ad07cd6 ("virtio-scsi: always use dataplane path if ioeventfd is active", 2016-10-30) made virtio-blk and virtio-scsi always use the dataplane code under KVM. The good news therefore is that it was not a bug in the patches---they were doing exactly what they were meant for, i.e. shake out remaining dataplane bugs. The fix is not hard, so it's worth arranging for the broken drivers. The virtio_should_notify+event_notifier_set pair that is common to virtio-blk and virtio-scsi dataplane is replaced with a new public function virtio_notify_irqfd that also sets ISR. The irqfd emulation code now need not set ISR anymore, so virtio_irq is removed.
