Summary

The first time we start bhyve with a passthru device everything is fine
as on boot we do enable BARs. If a driver (unload) inside bhyve disables
the BAR(s) as some Linux drivers do, we need to make sure we re-enable
them on next bhyve start.

If we are trying to mmap a disabled BAR for MSI-X (PCIOCBARMMAP)
the kernel will give us an EBUSY.
While we were re-enabling the BAR(s) in the current code loop
cfginit() was writing the changes out too late to the real hardware.

Move the call to init_msix_table() after the register on the real
hardware was updated. That way the kernel will be happy and the
mmap will succeed and bhyve will start.

Test Plan

start bhyve with iwlwifi on passthrough
kldload if_iwlwifi
kldunload if_iwlwifi
reboot
start bhyve again (fails or works again with the change)

I'd love https://reviews.freebsd.org/D20623 to also go in at some point.

Seems ok to me other than the nit, thanks.

Why do we need the loop? Can this just be

if ((i = pci_msix_table_bar(sc->psc_pi)) != -1) {
    assert(i >= 0 && i <= PCI_BARMAX);
    error = init_msix_table(ctx, sc, sc->psc_bar[i].addr);

?

In fact, the third parameter to init_msix_table() is unused and could be dropped, so the BAR index i is not needed.

Also simplify the code given the last argument to init_msix_table()
is unused we do not need to do checks for each bar. [1]

Good spot. Makes the code a lot simpler. Thank you!

This patch unconditionally calls init_msix_table. This breaks passthru for devices which only support MSI. I created a patch for it D33728
