MSI & MSI-X enable in virtual box

Post by Kamal123 »

Hi, I am trying to get MSI or MSI-X support in my kernel. I iterate through the capabilities list but no msi or msi-x id present. VBox documentations says.. chipset ICH9 supports message signal interrupts. But no msi Id found. Is there any way to enable message signal interrupt ? I use pci, no pci express for now.
But if I debug I only find id -0x1 for first pointer and 0x7 for the next capability list pointer.

MSI / MSI-X support isn't solely decided by the chipset. Each individual device reports whether or not it support MSI / MSI-X. Try looking at other devices capabilities list.

Thank you so much.. now I got msi, msi-x capabilities from hd audio and USB xhci.. but for my e1000 driver, seems I have to deal with interrupt line. Thank you so much for your reply...
