[Xen-devel] Several Issues about GPL Windows Driver

[Huibin QIAN <qianhb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey All

 

Several Issuses I am NOT clear about GPL Windows Driver

 

1. In xennet, GPL Win Driver set the rx(XenNet_RxInit())/tx(XenNet_TxInit()) DPC to vCPU0 using KeSetTargetProcessorDpc(). 
My quetions why we should do in this way, Any problem if I unset the rx/tx DPC to vCPU0, just let OS to assign DPC to which vCPUs?

 

2. In xenpci, XenPci_DOP_BuildScatterGatherListButDontExecute() line 756,          
line 756 gref = (grant_ref_t)GntTbl_GrantAccess(xpdd, 0, (ULONG)pfn, FALSE, INVALID_GRANT_REF);
line 757 ASSERT(gref != INVALID_GRANT_REF);
if there's NOT eough gref, there should be a crash, why NOT deal with it like the way XenScsi_PutSrbOnRing() in xenscsi.c?
line 614     if (shadow->req.seg[shadow->req.nr_segments].gref == 0x0FFFFFFF)
line 615    {
line 616      return; /* better than crashing... */
line 617    }
At least, this will NOT crash the OS.
Because when I use iperf do a test between two DomU (WINDOWS XP SP2) on some Dom0.
A:One DomU as iperf client
iperf -c $(IP_SERVER) -i 1 -w 64k  -l 1 -t 300
another one as iperf server:
B:iperf -s -P 1 -i 1 -w 64k  -l 1

 

In this way, I set iperf buffer length is 1 bytes.

 

The Client crashes everytime!!!!
The callstack of Client Windows is as following.

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: 80000003, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 80531e95, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: f8ab95b4, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000

And then I unset the rx(XenNet_RxInit())/tx(XenNet_TxInit()) DPC to vCPU0, just let OS to assign the DPC, this problem vanishes.

 

Any ideas about the two problem ?
