iavf: panic on QEMU with i440fx chipset emulation
Hi, While I'm testing iavf(4) on Linux QEMU with i440fx chipset emulation,
I had the following panic message on my OpenBSD current build.
I440fx is the default chipset emulation of QEMU. I know q35 chipset
emulation is required for msix interrupts. But if users forget to select it,
I tested what happens on the default chipset emulation.
```

It seems that NULL pointer function is called by the 'taskq_thread'.
Locore0.S is called for the indirect function call to do RETPOLINE
provided by the '__x86_indirect_thunk_r11' function.
Who sets the NULL pointer function?
I added the following KASSERT in the 'task_add' function.
```

And then got the following backtrace.

From the 'iavf_attach' function, 'iavf_get_vf_resources' is called.
It expects the response of IAVF_VC_OP_GET_VF_RESOURCES.
But this backtrace shows 'iavf_process_arq' function is called in the
'if_iavf.c:2260' line. It is in the 'iavf_process_vc_event' function.
In my source code, around 'if_iavf.c:2260' is shown as follows.
```
2231 static void
2232 iavf_process_vc_event(struct iavf_softc *sc, struct iavf_aq_desc *desc,
2233 struct iavf_aq_buf *buf)
2234 {
2235 struct iavf_vc_pf_event *event;
2236 struct ifnet *ifp = &sc->sc_ac.ac_if;
2237 const struct iavf_link_speed *speed;
2238 int link;
2239
2240 event = buf->aqb_data;
2241 switch (event->event) {
2242 case IAVF_VC_EVENT_LINK_CHANGE:
2243 sc->sc_media_status = IFM_AVALID;
2244 sc->sc_media_active = IFM_ETHER;
2245 link = LINK_STATE_DOWN;
2246 if (event->link_status) {
2247 link = LINK_STATE_UP;
2248 sc->sc_media_status |= IFM_ACTIVE;
2249
2250 ifp->if_baudrate = 0;
2251 speed = iavf_find_link_speed(sc, event->link_speed);
2252 if (speed != NULL) {
2253 sc->sc_media_active |= speed->media;
2254 ifp->if_baudrate = speed->baudrate;
2255 }
2256 }
2257
2258 if (ifp->if_link_state != link) {
2259 ifp->if_link_state = link;
2260 if_link_state_change(ifp);
2261 }
2262 break;
```
It means that while waiting for IAVF_VC_OP_GET_VF_RESOURCES,
IAVF_VC_OP_EVENT is returned and then changes the interface media status
and reports it to userland via the 'if_link_state_change' function.
In the 'if_link_state_change' function, '&ifp->if_linkstatetask' is
passed to the 'task_add' function. The 'ifp' is a pointer to 'sturct ifnet'
and the structure entity is in the driver context. So the 'if_linkstatetask'
is zero cleared at first, and then set by the 'if_attach' function.
Let's back to what the 'iavf_attach' function does. The key points are:
1. 'iavf_get_vf_resources' triggers 'if_link_state_change' function call.
2. 'pci_intr_map_msix' will fail with i440fx because no msix support.
3. 'if_attach' won't be called in case of i440fx.
So, the 'if_linkstatetask' is executed with a zero cleared function pointer.
With the q35 chipset emulation, 'pci_intr_map_msix' succeeds, and
'if_attach' is called before executing the 'if_linkstatetask'.
Notifying the link state change is not needed before calling the
'if_attach' function because users won't see the interface.
I added the 'sc_if_attached' flag and changed it to call
'if_link_state_change' if the flag is set. See my patch as follows.
I confirmed the kernel doesn't panic and the iavf interfaces won't be
created with i440fx chipset emulation.
OK?
