Bug Description

== SRU Justification ==

Impact: See below

Fix: Upstream commit from v6.4-rc4 cherry-picked into 5.19 and 6.2

Test case: Check of sysfs running Xen.

Regression potential: Change adds additional calls to populate sysfs related to MSI devices. Any issues would be withing those limits.

--- Original Description ---

Let's say you launch a Xen-based EC2 instance with enhanced networking, then under kernel-5.19 you'll not see anything under

$ ls /sys/class/net/ens3/device/msi_irqs/

This can be fixed by backporting
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=335b4223466dd75f9f3ea4918187afbadd22e5c8
(It got already backported to 6.1 and 6.3)

With this patch applied, you'll correctly see the sysfs files:

$ ls /sys/class/net/ens3/device/msi_irqs/
690 691 692 693 694 695 696 697 698

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux/6.2.0-30.30 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-lunar-linux' to 'verification-done-lunar-linux'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-lunar-linux' to 'verification-failed-lunar-linux'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster) has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that specific release.
