RE: [Xen-devel] Problem: Xen 3.4 fails to boot on Dell e6400, with iommu=1

> CAP_REG=0xffffffffffffffff
HW obviously doesn't report the value correctly.
 
So, looks the issue is: when we change the iommu option in BIOS (e.g., from disabled to enabled), to make it really take effect, we have to make a "cold shutdown (shutdown the power supply throughly)"  to the host ; or else, though Xen can see the ACPI DMAR tables，the HW doesn't respond to the MMIO accesses to the iommu registers at all -- such read access would return -1 (all-'1's) and write access would be ignored.
 
I remember you said after you commented the clear_fault_bits(), the host could boot fine with iommu=1 --- I guess in this case actually the DMA remapping is not enabled at all though Xen thinks HW tells it DMA remapping is enabled (Xen writes DMA_GCMD_TE into GCMD (this write is ignored)  and polls the GSTS; since reading GSTS returns -1, Xen thinks TE is on, however the underlying HW doesn't enable DMA remapping!).
Please note: this is only my deduction, anyway. :-)    You can try to create some hvm guests with devices assigned, I think the host would die weirdly since the DMAs of the assigned devices of the hvm guests are corrupting the host memory! This can be a way to verify my deduction.
And I remember you said after you commented the clear_fault_bits() and booted the host fine, you tried to uncomment the line and the host still boots fine! -- this is strange to me, I guess you might have done a cold shutdown before your uncommenting the line?
One more thing: I think your HW doesn't support SnoopControl/QueuedInvalidation/InterruptRemapping, but after you commented the clear_fault_bits(), LOOKS the host could boot fine even after Xen tries to enable them! Maybe the specific HW implementation of your host could account for this...
 
I think changing the iommu option in BIOS should not require a cold shutdown to the host. I'll try to raise this issue to the BIOS people.
For now, you could work around the issue by remember doing a cold shutdown every time you change the iommu BIOS option. Hope this is acceptable to you for now. :-)

Thanks,

Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] Problem: Xen 3.4 fails to boot on Dell e6400, with iommu=1

in steps 1 & 4, i mean disabling and enabling IOMMU in the BIOS (and not in Xen boot parameter). And, this is what probably caused all of this.

I am using my own version (above Xen 3.4.0), but i haven't made any changes in the hyervisor itself (but rather in the hvmloader and rombios), so it's not related to this. I prefer not to try the latest Xen, unless there is a very good reason for this, as it take long time to compile, and i can't do it right now.

I have reproduced the panic with the print, and here is the relevant part of the log:

2009/6/29 Cui, Dexuan <dexuan.cui@xxxxxxxxx>
When you meet with the panic, can you apply the printk log to print CAP_REG?
 
In your step 1 and 4, you just mean using the xen parameter iommu=0 and iommu=1, correct?
During theses steps, you don't change any BIOS setting and there is not any HW change, correct?
 
I see you're using "3.4.0 19629:b2128a88e3dd", but 19629's checksum should be 69293fc2096f (http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.4-testing.hg?rev/69293fc2096f).
So I assume you made your own changes to the code?
Can you try the latest changeset 19677: b2ddeb734ca7(http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.4-testing.hg)?
 
Sorry, I don't have the same type of host, so I can't try it myself. :-(

Thanks,
-- Dexuan

Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] Problem: Xen 3.4 fails to boot on Dell e6400, with iommu=1

Well, it looks like my analysis was right.
This is how i reproduced it:
1. Disable the IOMMU
2. Turn off the laptop, and leave it turned off for a few seconds
3. Turn on the laptop
4. Enable the IOMMU (*DON'T* turn off the machine)
5. Continue
6. Xen crashes

and, now the log lines are:
(XEN) Intel VT-d Queued Invalidation supported.
(XEN) Intel VT-d Interrupt Remapping supported.

It looks like there is a problem when enabling IOMMU, without cold boot of the machine.

What do u say?

I'm almost 100% sure, that this was from the same machine (since i have only 1 such Dell currently on my desk :).
However, this log was generated just after turning on the IOMMU (without cold boot). So, let me check if it happened because of this.

I'll check it now...


2009/6/29 Cui, Dexuan <dexuan.cui@xxxxxxxxx>
I have no idea about it.

This is from the log of your original mail. We can see SC/QI/IR are supported, but in your later log, we can see they are not supported.
I'm curious where the first log comes from. :-)

1) Yep, i can't reproduce it anymore. Maybe i'll try it with another Dell R6400 i have here.
2) On my Lenovo T400, i don't remember the exact crash, and i don't have the log of that crash, i just remember something about "DMAR ... failure", which happened, after i turned on the IOMMU, and didn't perform a cold reboot on that machine.

Do u have any idea why these problems happen?
Does anyone else working with Dell E6400 had this problem?

Tom

2009/6/29 Cui, Dexuan <dexuan.cui@xxxxxxxxx>
It's really weird... :-)
 
If I understand correctly, with iommu=1 in Xen:
1) on your "Dell E6400 machine", now you can't reproduce the panic any longer;
2) on your "Lenovo T400", you can reproduce the panic sometimes -- if so, can you post the log (with the printk patch applied) when you meet with the panic? Can you find out under what condition it's easy to reproduce the panic?
 

Thanks,
-- Dexuan

Hi,

Tried again, this time with cold reboot, it worked again. I also checked the lines you were talking about, and now they are:
(XEN) Intel VT-d Snoop Control not supported.
(XEN) Intel VT-d DMA Passthrough not supported.
(XEN) Intel VT-d Queued Invalidation not supported.
(XEN) Intel VT-d Interrupt Remapping not supported.

Could it be that there is some kind of problem with the hardware, which makes it sometimes report invalid values? (with the Lenovo T400 i'm testing, if you enable the IOMMU, without a cold-reboot, it may cause Xen to crash on boot, so you must do a cold reboot).

Here is the log:

So, if I understand correctly, it's really strange you can't reproduce the panic now.
 
With only the first printk patch applied (and don't comment the clear_fault_bits()), can you try a cold rebooting the host (plug the power cord off from the host; wait several minutes; plug the cord in and tunn on the host)? And the log?
 
BTW, in your original mail, the log shows:
(XEN) Intel VT-d Queued Invalidation supported.
(XEN) Intel VT-d Interrupt Remapping supported.
 
But in your this new log, it shows:
(XEN) Intel VT-d Queued Invalidation not supported.
(XEN) Intel VT-d Interrupt Remapping not supported.
Are you sure you have been operating on the same host? :-)

Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] Problem: Xen 3.4 fails to boot on Dell e6400, with iommu=1

Hi,

Well, just tried what you suggested, and here are the results:
* If i comment the 'clear_fault_bits()' call - then Xen boots ok, with iommu=1
The strange thing, is that after it booted one time ok (with the second patch), then it continued to boot ok, even if i reverted the second patch.

The relevant lines in the log are:
(XEN) clear_fault_bits: CAP_REG=0xc0000020630270
(XEN) clear_fault_bits: CAP_REG=0xc0000020630260
(XEN) clear_fault_bits: CAP_REG=0xc9008020e30260
(XEN) clear_fault_bits: CAP_REG=0xc9008020630260

Anyway, here is the full Xen log, with the first patch (print cap's) applied:

Hi Tom,
Can you please apply the above patch and send us the entire log?
(I don't have the same host, so I can't try it myself.)

Thanks,

Subject: [Xen-devel] Problem: Xen 3.4 fails to boot on Dell e6400, with iommu=1


Hi,

I am trying to use xen 3.4 on a Dell E6400 machine. But, when i try to boot xen with a 'iommu=1' parameter in the boot line, Xen fails to boot. I have also tried to boot with and without the 'iommu_inclusive_mapping' boot option, but it didn't seem to help at all.

Does anyone knows how to solve this issue?
