virtio: bounce.in_use==true in virtqueue_map_desc()

Host environment

  • Operating system: Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble)

  • OS/kernel version: Linux 6.5.0-13-generic

  • Architecture: amd64

  • QEMU flavor: qemu-system-riscv64

  • QEMU version: 8.2-rc2 / 8.1.92

  • QEMU command line:

    /usr/bin/qemu-system-riscv64 \
           -M virt,acpi=off -accel tcg -m 4096 \
           -serial mon:stdio \
           -device virtio-gpu-pci \
           -device qemu-xhci \
           -device usb-kbd \

           -drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1,file=RISCV_VIRT_VARS.fd \

Emulated/Virtualized environment

  • Operating system: EDK II
  • OS/kernel version: edk2-stable202311
  • Architecture: riscv64

Description of problem

Steps to reproduce

  1. Build EDK II (edk2-stable202311) for riscv64
  2. Build UEFI SCT (commit 81dfa8d53d4290) for riscv64
  3. Run the UEFI SCT
  4. Observe the message "qemu: virtio: bogus descriptor or out of resources" after which the execution stalls.

The full procedure is described in https://github.com/xypron/sct_release_test

To save time you can call sct -u and select only test 'MediaAccessTest\BlockIOProtocolTest'. Run it with F9.

Additional information

virtqueue_map_desc() may be called for a large buffers size sz. It will then call dma_memory_map() multiple times in a loop. In address_space_map() bounce.in_use is set to true on the first call. Each subsequent call is bound to fail.

To verify this is the cause I applied the following diff:

diff --git a/system/physmem.c b/system/physmem.c

+
             *plen = 0;
             return NULL;
         }
         /* Avoid unbounded allocations */
         l = MIN(l, TARGET_PAGE_SIZE);
         bounce.buffer = qemu_memalign(TARGET_PAGE_SIZE, l);
+       if (!bounce.buffer)
+           fprintf(stderr, "Out of memory in address_space_map\n");
         bounce.addr = addr;
         bounce.len = l;

and saw this output:
