RE: [Xen-devel] Xen Paravirt Operations Domain 0 SerialConsoleProblem



Hi Weidong,
 
I understood now. http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.4-testing.hg and http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg are completely different mercurial branches. I am using xen 3.4.1 testing which means my code won't have the pci-stub patch you have attached.
 
When I go back home after work I will do:
 
# cd /usr/src
# hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg
# cd xen-unstable.hg
# make xen
# make install-xen
# make tools
# make install-tools
 
Is xen-unstable very unstable? Will it work with my pv-ops dom 0 kernels 2.6.30-rc3 and 2.6.31-rc6? I believe I only have to download, compile and install xen-unstable right? I shouldn't have to do anything with my current pv-ops dom 0 kernels?
 
Thank you.

Hi Weidong,
 
I have taken a look at the patch code you have attached. The date is 6 July 2009, which is one month older than the Xen 3.4.1 testing code that I am currently using.
 
Is this pci-stub patch already in Xen 3.4.1 testing changeset of 6 August 2009? If it is not merged into Xen 3.4.1 6 Aug 2009 changeset, then I would have to patch my current Xen code using this patch file.

Dear Weidong,
 
I am using Xen 3.4.1 testing with pv-ops dom 0 kernels 2.6.30-rc3 or 2.6.31-rc6.
 
May I know where I can download changeset 19893 source code and patch Xen 3.4.1 testing with this changeset?
 
Thank you.

Xen 3.4.1 doesn't include the changeset 19893, so it cannot work for you. Basically, I use 2.6.18 dom0 with Xen 3.4, and use pv-ops dom 0 with xen-unstable. Anyway, you can port the c/s 19893 to your code, and try again.

Weidong

Hi Weidong,
 
I can confirm that I am using Xen 3.4.1 with changeset of 6 August 2009. However, I can't remember the changeset number. I need to get home after work to find out.

I believe I am using Xen 3.4.1 with changeset of 6 August 2009. I can't remember the changeset number. I will check and get back to you later.

What version of Xen are you using? Make sure after c/s 19893, which enables pci-stub to hide devices for assignment.
 
It works fine for me.
 
 > When I tried to "cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/new_id", it says permission denied
It doesn't matter. It is the same to pciback. You will get the same message when you do "cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/new_id".
 
After use commands to hide 01:00.0 with pci-stub, can you see it use command 'ls /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/'?
 
 
Regards,
Weidong

I find that following the instructions here at Xen Wiki VtdHowTo don't work:

Binding Devices to pci-stub

If using pv-ops dom0, also can use pci-stub to hide devices for assignment (example PCI device 01:00.0) * lspci -n * locate the entry for device 01:00.0 and note down the vendor & device ID 8086:10b9 .

...
01:00.0 0200: 8086:10b9 (rev 06)
...

* then use following commands to hide it: .

echo "8086 10b9" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/new_id
echo "0000:01:00.0" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/driver/unbind
echo "0000:01:00.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/bind

When I tried to "cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/new_id", it says permission denied.

My NVIDIA graphics card is using BDF 01:00.0. When I change directory to 
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/, sub-directory driver is not found at all.

Then when I put in pci = [ '01:00.0' ] for the Windows XP Home HVM config, it complains about pciback but I am using paravirt-ops dom 0 kernel.

And when I tried the "xm pci-list-assignable-devices", nothing shows up.

I have already specified iommu=1 in grub.

Hope the Intel folks can assist in this matter.

Ng Beng Heng at the University of Michigan has done it. He's using the same Intel DQ45CB as me.
