[Xen-devel] a domain VTx with the VNIF does hang.

[Hirofumi Tsujimura <tsujimura.hirof@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all, my name is Hirofumi Tsujimura.
We are porting and testing a PV-on-HVM in the IPF.
This is a first time to send mail.

I probably found the problem when I tested the VNIF.
My operation for the test is following.
  1. create a domain VTx and attach the VNIF in it.
  2. create a domain U.
  3. send a packet to the domain VTx from the domain U with ping
     command.
     Then, the domain VTx does hang.
     And, it outputs as follows.
     The domain U and a domain 0 doesn't do hang.

*** Please look at screenshots about the detail of the log. ***

The test environment is as follows.
  - Architecture  : x86
  - Xen change set: 11683
  - Domain 0      : kernel2.6.16.29-xen
  - Domain U      : kernel2.6.16.29-xen
  - Domain VTx    : kernel2.6.16

Probably, a domain VTx with the VNIF does Hang when it recieves a packet
from some domain U or from some domain VTx with the VNIF.


Additionally, I similarly tested the VNIF in the following environments
today(On October 3 2006).
  - Architecture  : x86
  - Xen change set: 11686
  - Domain 0      : kernel2.6.16.29-xen
  - Domain U      : kernel2.6.16.29-xen
  - Domain VTx    : kernel2.6.16

As a result, a kernel of domain VTx with the VNIF does panic when I use
"xm network-attach domainVTx eth1" in a domain 0.
Even if that command succeeds, it similarly does hang when it recieves a
packet.

What's happend?
Thank you.
