While multi-MSI appears to work with pci-hyperv.c, there was a concern about how linux was doing the ITRE allocations. Patch 2 addresses the concern.
However, patch 2 exposed an issue with how compose_msi_msg() was freeing a previous allocation when called for the Nth time. Imagine a driver using pci_alloc_irq_vectors() to request 32 MSIs. This would cause compose_msi_msg() to be called 32 times, once for each MSI. With patch 2, MSI0 would allocate the ITREs needed, and MSI1-31 would use the cached information. Then the driver uses request_irq() on MSI1-17. This would call compose_msi_msg() again on those MSIs, which would again use the cached information. Then unmask() would be called to retarget the MSIs to the right VCPU vectors. Finally, the driver calls request_irq() on MSI0. This would call conpose_msi_msg(), which would free the block of 32 MSIs, and allocate a new block. This would undo the retarget of MSI1-17, and likely leave those MSIs targeting invalid VCPU vectors. This is addressed by patch 1, which is introduced first to prevent a regression.
