Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 20 of 20] n2 MSR handling and capability exposure



Just a remark to avoid misunderstanding

The first nested  KVM guest is running ok, for as long as i keep it running
When starting a second nested KVM guest (in the same Xen DOMU) that is when the Xen DOMU becomes in-responsive. In DOM0 it it shown that it is still running and consuming time.


The complete test is like this

dom0
opensuse 11.4 x86
xen: unstable cs 23640

domu1 (HVM)
sles11sp1
mem: 8 GB
vcpu: 4

domu1 guests
1) qemu-kvm: propetary OS
2) qemu-kvm: propetary OS
3) qemu-kvm: SLES10SP3
4) qemu-kvm: SLES10SP3

Jeroen

KVM on Xen works for me. Also KVM on Xen on Xen.

Eddie?  Did you test with KVM guests?  Is this expected to work?

Hi Tim/Eddi/Christoph,

I just gave it a go again with cs23640. But the behaviour is still the
same. so L1 becomes inresponsive after starting the second nested quest.
I can deliver any trace input you want/need.

Hi,

Based on these patch series, I gave it go.
I noticed until now that the system becomes in-responsive a few second
after activating the second nested guest.
steps:
1) dom0 creates domu (pass)
2) domU creates first kvm guest (pass)
3) domU creates second kvm guest (fail)
after the third step the domu becomes in-responsive. eg no network /
vnc console response. in dom0 is shows domu is stil running.

I'm able to provide any input needed, just tell me what you need (and
how).

mfg,
Jeroen

My HW setup
mobo asus z8nr-d12

My goal/test
in short: HW ->  dom0 ->  domU ->  4 time kvm guest

dom0
opensuse 11.4 x86
xen: unstable cs 23553

domu (HVM)
sles11sp1
mem: 8 GB
vcpu: 4

domu guests
1) qemu-kvm: propetary OS
2) qemu-kvm: propetary OS

Are you planning to fix this before checking in this series?  I'm
pretty
sure that at least MSR_IA32_VMX_VMCS_ENUM should be trivial, since you
define your own VMCS format.

Sure, the updated patch is attached.
Thanks.  I've applied the full series.  I cleaned up a few things for
the 32-bit build as well.

Cheers,

Tim.
