Let me explain why the DPRINTF warning is there: emulated dma operations
can involve locked mappings. Once a dma operation completes, the related
mapping is unlocked and can be safely destroyed. But if we destroy a
locked mapping in xen_invalidate_map_cache, while a dma is still
ongoing, QEMU will crash. We cannot handle that case.

However, the scenario you described is different. It has nothing to do
with DMA. It looks like pci_add_option_rom calls
memory_region_get_ram_ptr to map the rtl8139 rom. The mapping is a
locked mapping and it is never unlocked or destroyed.

It looks like "ptr" is not used after pci_add_option_rom returns. Does
the append patch fix the problem you are seeing? For the proper fix, I
think we probably need some sort of memory_region_unmap wrapper or maybe
a call to address_space_unmap.

Hmm, for some reason my message to the Xen-devel list got rejected but was sent
to Qemu-devel instead, without any notice. Sorry if I'm missing something
obvious as a list newbie.

Stefano, hrg,

There is an issue with inconsistency between the list of normal MapCacheEntry's
and their 'reverse' counterparts - MapCacheRev's in locked_entries.
When bad situation happens, there are multiple (locked) MapCacheEntry
entries in the bucket's linked list along with a number of MapCacheRev's. And
when it comes to a reverse lookup, xen-mapcache picks the wrong entry from the
first list and calculates a wrong pointer from it which may then be caught with
the "Bad RAM offset" check (or not). Mapcache invalidation might be related to
this issue as well I think.

I'll try to provide a test code which can reproduce the issue from the
guest side using an emulated IDE controller, though it's much simpler to achieve
this result with an AHCI controller using multiple NCQ I/O commands. So far I've
seen this issue only with Windows 7 (and above) guest on AHCI, but any block I/O
DMA should be enough I think.

Yes, I think so, maybe this is the proper way to fix this.

Yes, I think there may be other bugs lurking, considering the complexity, though we need to reproduce it if we want to delve into it.

That would be helpful. Please see if you can reproduce it after fixing
the other issue (http://marc.info/?l=qemu-devel&m=149195042500707&w=2).

Would you be up for sending a proper patch and testing it? We cannot call
xen_invalidate_map_cache_entry directly from pci.c though, it would need
to be one of the other functions like address_space_unmap for example.
