Cross-Cutting Issues

MSI-X Completeness

Issue: MSI-X implementation exists but has gaps

Current State:

• pcid/src/driver_interface/msi.rs: Full MSI-X table entry structure with per-vector masking ✅
• pcid/src/driver_interface/irq_helpers.rs: MSI-X allocation with pci_allocate_interrupt_vectors() ✅
• xhcid/src/xhci/irq_reactor.rs: MSI-X event handling with polling fallback ⚠️
• virtio-netd: Uses MSI-X via pcid ✅

Gaps:

1. irq_helpers.rs:254: // TODO: Allow allocation of up to 32 vectors - current limit unclear
2. irq_helpers.rs:308: // FIXME move MSI-X IRQ allocation to pcid - split responsibility
3. xhcid/src/xhci/irq_reactor.rs:536: error!("TODO: grow event ring") - event ring cannot grow
4. Non-x86 MSI support is a stub (irq_helpers.rs:428)

Linux Reference:

• local/reference/linux-7.1/drivers/pci/msi.c
• local/reference/linux-7.1/arch/x86/kernel/apic/msi.c

Fix Plan: 1 week for MSI-X vector limit, 2 weeks for event ring growth

ACPI Notify Handling

Issue: No mechanism to handle ACPI device notifications (button events, lid state, etc.)

Current State:

• acpid/src/scheme.rs exposes only tables/, symbols/, dmi/ paths
• No notify or gpe scheme paths
• acpid/src/main.rs only listens on shutdown pipe and scheme socket

Linux Reference:

• local/reference/linux-7.1/drivers/acpi/button.c - Power button, lid
• local/reference/linux-7.1/drivers/acpi/scan.c - Device notify registration

Required:

1. GPE0/GPE1 block handler scheme path
2. Notify handler registration with AML interpreter
3. Event dispatch to registered handlers

Fix Plan: 2 weeks for GPE handling, 2 weeks for Notify

GPE Handling

Issue: GPE (General Purpose Event) blocks not handled

Current State:

• FADT parsed (acpi.rs:740-894) with GPE0/GPE1 block addresses stored
• No GPE handler installed
• SCI (System Control Interrupt) not explicitly handled

Linux Reference:

• local/reference/linux-7.1/drivers/acpi/acpica/evgpe.c - GPE event handling
• local/reference/linux-7.1/drivers/acpi/acpica/evgpeblk.c - GPE block handlers

Fix Plan: 2 weeks for basic GPE dispatch, 3 weeks for full handler

Embedded Controller

Issue: EC transactions may fail silently

Current State:

• ec.rs implements basic EC transaction protocol
• aml_physmem.rs:74: EC region handler installed
• Multiple // TODO proper error type markers in ec.rs

Linux Reference:

• local/reference/linux-7.1/drivers/acpi/ec.c - Full EC driver

Fix Plan: 3 weeks for robust EC handling

Wake / Sleep

Issue: Only S5 (soft-off) implemented; S3 (suspend) and S4 (hibernate) missing

Current State:

• acpi.rs:652-737: set_global_s_state(5) works for shutdown
• acpi.rs:723: // TODO: Handle SLP_TYPb - S5 incomplete
• No suspend/resume path

Linux Reference:

• local/reference/linux-7.1/drivers/acpi/sleep.c - S0/S1/S3/S4/S5 handling

Fix Plan: 1 week for SLP_TYPb, 4 weeks for S3/S4

PCIe AER

Issue: No Advanced Error Reporting capability

Current State:

• No AER capability parsing in driver_interface/cap.rs
• No error handler registration
• No error injection/retore support

Linux Reference:

• local/reference/linux-7.1/drivers/pci/pcie/aer.c
• local/reference/linux-7.1/include/linux/aer.h

Fix Plan: 3 weeks for basic AER

Risk Assessment

Shipping as-is (redbear-mini)

Risk	Likelihood	Impact	Mitigation
USB MSI-X fails	Medium	High	Use legacy INTx fallback
ACPI thermal events lost	Medium	Medium	polling fallback
Service restart fails	Low	Medium	manual restart

Risk Score: 6/10 (acceptable for text-only mini)

Minimum for Phase 1 (Runtime Substrate)

Risk	Likelihood	Impact	Mitigation
GPE handling missing	High	Critical	Must implement before Phase 1
Notify handling missing	High	Critical	Must implement before Phase 1
EC transactions timeout	Medium	High	Add error recovery
MSI-X vector limit	Medium	Medium	Increase to 32

Risk Score: 8/10 (GPE/Notify are blockers)

Minimum for Phase 2-4 (Desktop Path)

Risk	Likelihood	Impact	Mitigation
Multi-bus PCI missing	High	Critical	Must implement for GPU
IOMMU incomplete	High	High	Use identity mapping fallback
AER missing	Medium	Medium	Error logging only

Risk Score: 9/10 (PCI multi-bus is critical for GPU)
