Thanks for you info.

Did you change the PCI dev config in xend, which is not friendly to hotplug?
(only one dev node for all pass-through devices)

No, I left it as it was.


Do you have a HVM PV driver for pass-through device?

No, I included hotplug handling methods in pcifront driver
which work only on PV linux.

Thanks,

Hi,

Just for your information,
I have been working on pass-through PCI device hotplug for PV domains,
and now pci-attach/detach for PV domains worked successfully.
I think I can submit an RFC patch in a few days.

Thanks,

Keir,

This patch is the new version against 17051 to enable HVM guest VT-d device hotplug.


** Currently only 2 virtual pci slots(6~7) are made as being capable of hotplug, so more than 2 vtd dev can't be hotplugged, but we can easily extend it in future.

Three new commands are added:
"xm pci-list domid" show the current assigned vtd device, like:
VSlt  domain   bus   slot   func
0x6      0x0  0x02   0x00    0x0

"xm pci-detach" hot remove the specified vtd device by the virtual slot, like:
xm pci-detach EdwinHVMDomainVtd 6

"xm pci-attach DomainID dom bus dev func [vslot]" hot add a new vtd device in the vslot. If no vslot specified, a free slot will be picked up. e.g. to insert '0000:03:00.0':
xm pci-attach EdwinHVMDomainVtd 0 3 0 0

** guest pci hotplug
linux: pls. use 2.6.X and enable ACPI PCI hotplug ( Bus options=> PCI hotplug => ACPI PCI hotplug driver)
windows: 2000/xp/2003/vista are all okay


Thanks a lot.
