Re: [Xen-devel] Strange lag with pv_ops dom0 kernel



Hi,

I dont think that's the case because the nic is autonegotiation the link and in dmesg I can see right after boot:

eth0: Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None
eth0: 10/100 speed: disabling TSO

Hi Valtteri,

I'm testing the 2.6.30-rc3-tip pv_ops kernel with Xen 3.4 (also tried 2.6.30-rc5-tip) and everything is working fine except domU performance.

domU's boot up quickly but theres some strange lag. For example just typing "ps aux" or "dmesg" takes 5-10 seconds to finish. Load averages are 0 and cpu-usage reported by xentop is minimal. Theres also no indication of io-wait.

This sounds like the known issue with Dom0 bouncing TSO packets.  It
should go away once you disable TSO in your DomU's:

/usr/sbin/ethtool -K eth0 tso off
