Re: [Xen-devel] save/restore pass-through enabled domU



No, it certainly will not work. In fact I thought we disabled it in the tools, but maybe I’m mistaken.

Hi all,

Can I save a pass-through enabled domU and restore it later on the same machine?
I tried this with no success. In my case, saving was successful only when I removed corresponding driver from domU.
Also when I restored it, all pci associated commands (ie lspci, insmod driver) produce the following error,

pcifront pci-0: pciback not responding!!!
BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!

If this works, I can think abt migration of pass-through enabled domU between machines having identical hardware.
