How did you find the issue ?
I presumed using VFIO on s390x hosts...
yes. I have been using a nvme drive for over 2y in an s390x VM and never
saw any issue.

Hi Cedric,
I have recently been experimenting with QEMU NVMe userspace driver and
PCI instructions from userspace [1]. On some of our test systems I
noticed the driver being hung. After some investigation we realized it
was due to this issue.
Do you think you could provide a test case for it ?
Also, I think the LE conversion should be done in routines
qemu_vfio_pci_read_config() and qemu_vfio_pci_write_config().
These config routines take a void buffer, so have no clue of endianness
size.
Maybe we want intermediary qemu_vfio_pci_ld16_config() and
qemu_vfio_pci_st16_config() helpers?
