Only accesses to the MSI-X table must trigger a call to
msix_handle_mask_update or a notifier invocation.

Why would msix_mmio_write be called on an access
outside the table?

Why the int/unsigned change? this has no chance to overflow, and using
unsigned causes signed/unsigned comparison below,
and unsigned/signed conversion on calls such as msix_is_masked.

I would say if we need to check the address, check it first thing
and return if the address is out of a sensible range.
For example, are you worried about kvm_msix_update calls with
a sensible mask?

Because it handles both the table and the PBA.

Vectors should be unsigned int, this is just one step in that direction
as we are at it. Even if the overflow is practically impossible, this
remains cleaner.

Will do that later when generalized MSI-X support.

No, that kvm code will die anyway.

Hmm. Interesting. Is there a bug in how we handle PBA
updates then? If yes I'd like a separate patch for that
to apply to the stable tree.

BTW, this code will go away if PBA can get stored separately?

Not sure why, but if you want to rework this we
would be better off doing the conversion in one go. Making half the code
use unsigned and half signed is way worse.

Should be a separate patch.

I have to say this change if done throughout would introduce
a lot of code churn. The potential of introducing bugs
seems higher than the potential to find/fix them.

But then do we need this patch at all?

Yes but we care about stable too, if there's a bug there
we need to fix it.

I first thought it was a serious bug, but it just triggers if the guest
write to PBA (which is very uncommon) and that actually triggers any
spurious out-of-bounds vector injection. Highly unlikely.

Hmm - yeah, true. Likely it's moot to discuss this change then.

Yes guests don't really use PBA ATM. But is there something
bad a malicious guest can do? For example, what if
msix_clr_pending gets invoked with this huge vector value?

It does seem serious ...

I checked it before and I think it is harmless. The largest vector that
can be miscalculated is 255. But bit 255 in the PBA is still safe inside
our MMIO page.
