The real VIA south bridges implement a PCI IRQ router which is configured
by the BIOS or the OS. In order to respect these configurations, QEMU
needs to implement it as well. The real chip may allow routing IRQs from
internal functions independently of PCI interrupts but since guests
usually configute it to a single shared interrupt we don't model that
here for simplicity.

Note: The implementation was taken from piix4_set_irq() in hw/isa/piix4.

Writing my previous response where I asked about the additional PCI interrupt connections to the MV64361, I realised that if you forget about the Northbridge component for a moment then things start to make a bit more sense.

At the moment we have 3 different scenarios:

  1) ISA IRQ -> 8259 for all ISA devices

  2) ISA IRQ -> 8259 *OR*
     PCI IRQ -> PCI IRQ router -> 8259 for the PCI-IDE device

  3) PCI IRQ -> PCI IRQ router -> 8259 for PCI devices

When you look at it this way it is easy to see for case 3 that the PCI IRQ routing mechanism is handled by *_set_irq() and *_map_irq() callbacks. And so with that in mind, re-reading the VIA datasheet I came up with the following PoC for discussion: https://github.com/mcayland/qemu/commits/via-poc.

At first glance this is basically what I had in v1 of this series just using PCI function numbers instead of an enum to find the IRQ source.

I can see the similarity however the difference here is that the PCI routing is done using the existing PCI routing functions in QEMU, rather than requiring an external function call specific to VIA devices.

It needs a bit of work, but at first glance it ticks all the boxes in that the PCI bus IRQs are all internal to the VIA southbridge (no global via_isa_set_irq() function and no overriding of PCI bus IRQs), there are separate legacy and PCI IRQs for the via-ide device, and the PCI IRQ routing bears at least a passing resemblance to the datasheet.

Given that we only have a few hours left until the freeze I hope you're not proposing to drop this series and postpone all this to the next release, only that we do this clean up in the next devel cycle. You were away when this series were on the list for review so this is a bit late now for a big rewrite. (Especially that what you propose is a variant of the original I've submitted that I had to change due to other review comments.)

Since this version was tested and works please accept this for QEMU 8.0 now then we can work out your idea in the next devel cycle but until then this version allows people to run AmigaOS on pegasos2 with sound which is the goal I want to achieve for QEMU 8.0 and does not introduce any change to via-ide which was good enough for the last two years so it should be good enough for a few more months.

My understanding from the thread was that testing shows there are still hangs when using sound/USB/IDE simultaneously with this series, no? Or has that now been fixed?

No. This series fiixes sound/USB/PCI interrupts which is needed to get AmigaOS work and be usable on pegasos2. The hang Bernhard found with usb-mouse was only affecting MorphOS with this series which uses level sensitive mode of i8259 which wasn't implemented. Patch 2 in this series thanks to David Woodhouse fixes that (so did my work around before that patch) and MorphOS on pegasos2 is not a priority as it already runs on mac99 so what I'd like to make work here is AmigaOS for which it's the only G4 CPU platform now. This is important as it's much faster than the PPC440 version and may be able to run with KVM eventually but to find that out this should get in first so people can start to test it. We can always improve it later including implementing a better model of IRQ routing in VT8231. What we have in this series now works for all guests and all important patches have been tested and now reviewed. So I hope Philippe can pick this up and then we have time for this discussion afterwards.

I completely understand it can be frustrating not getting patches merged, but often as developers on less popular machines it can take a long time. My perspective here is that both you and Bernhard have out-of-tree patches for using the VIA southbridges, and during review Bernhard has raised legitimate review questions based upon his experience.

Those review questions have been addressed, I've accepted Bernhard's alternative patch even though I think it's not entirely correct and although the first series was already tested I've re-done that based on Bernhard's idea and asked Rene to test all of it again. That's when you came along a few days before the freeze and blocking this without even fully understanding what it's about. That is what's frustrating.

To me it makes sense to resolve these outstanding issues first to provide a solution that works for everyone, rather than pushing to merge a series that

There are no issues to resolvc regatding functionality. All versions of this series that I have submitted were tested and are working and achieve the goal to make it possible to run AmigaOS on pegasos2 and get sound with MorphOS which are not yet possible currently. Nobody showed these patches would break anything (which would be surprising anyway as these are only used by pegasos2 and fuloong2e the latter of which has never been finished so only still around to have a way to test these components independent of pegasos2). A solution for everyone would be to merge this series now so they can use it in QEMU 8.0 then we have time to improve it and make the model conteptually more correct but there are no missing functionality that would prevent guests from running with this series so no reason to keep this out now.

still has reliability issues and where there is lack of consensus between developers. The worst case scenario to me is that these patches get merged, people report that QEMU is unreliable for AmigaOS, and then we end up repeating this entire process yet again several months down the line when Bernhard submits his series for upstream.

I don't even know what to say to that. It already took me more time arguing with you about it than writing the whole series. We have pegasos2 in QEMU already which these really small patches that Bernhard now also agrees could be accepted for now would allow to run two more guests and reach usable state with them that is much better than what's possible now and there are several people who can't compile their QEMU from off-tree sources but would happily use it from their distro packages or binaries provided for release versions. But you just don't care about those people or my work and would hold this back indefinitely becuase maybe it could break some off-tree changes not even finished or submitted yet or maybe we will find a bug later. What's the freeze time for if not for finding bugs and fixing them. What's the development window for if not imrpving code already there?

Again this is now tested, reviewed and isn't known to break anything that's already there or even make it less clean, in fact it does make existing code a bit cleaner and fixes some issues so the only problem is that you think there must be a better way doing it or do it more fully than this series does it but you've failed to say that during review because you were away.

Philippe, Peter or any other maintainer please put an end on this suffering and submit a pull request with any version of this series (as I've said all versions I've sent are tested and working) now so we have it working and then we can rewrite it later however Mark wants in the future but let not make people who want to use it wait because of unreasonable concerns. Putting this off to wait until some other unfinished and unrelated machine is written just makes no sense.
