AW: [Xen-devel] Xen-3.4 and FLR

[Carsten Schiers <carsten@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dexuan,
Stefan,

from my past experience, I can tell you that these boards with nForce chipsets 
like the one Stefan uses have all 3/4 PCI slots behind a PCI bridge. I own a
Gigabyte GA-M56S-S3.

Assuming that Stefan has only PV domains running, I can confirm that the patch,
which I included manually (due to some offsets) still works. 

I still would vote for some kind of option to disable the necessety of 
co-assignment
in cases where they are not necessary or wanted.

I am missing the knowledge to help, but I can imagine that there are cases in 
which 
it is mandatory (when I understood right, it's when VT-d is used), but maybe it 
is
usefull to have FLR support also, when you have HVM Domains running without VT-d
support. Is it usefull to have FLR implemented in a pure-PV environment, too? 

I attached the outputs of the commands, just in case it makes sense to have a 
look
at them.

BR,
Carsten.

Hi Stefan,
Are you assigning device to PV guest or HVM guest?
Can you attach the log files of "lspci -tv" and "lspci -xxx -vvv" on your host?

Thanks,

Hi,

i've upgrade from xen-3.3.1 (with flr disable patch) to xen-3.4.
How i've my old FLR problem, when i try to give an PCI-Card from a real
slot to a domU i get:
VmError: pci: 0000:01:0e.0 must be co-assigned to the same guest with
0000:01:09.0

When i've more than one PCI-Card in system xen will all PCI-Cards give
this domU till xen is by an onBoard device.
When i give an onBoard device to a domU i've no problem.

I've a Gigabyte GA-M52S-S3P in this system.

I'am involved in a Project (EisXen), there are many with the same
Problem on xen-3.3.1 without patch.
So, where does it come from?

Regads,
Stefan Kuhne
