        Hi developers,
        I met some domU issues and the log suggests missing interrupt.
        Details from here:
        http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/users/263938#263938
        In summary, this is the suspicious log:

        (XEN) vmsi.c:122:d32767 Unsupported delivery mode 3

        I've checked the code in question and found that mode 3 is an
        'reserved_1' mode.
        I want to trace down the source of this mode setting to
        root-cause the issue.
        But I'm not an xen developer, and am even a newbie as a xen user.
        Could anybody give me instructions about how to enable
        detailed debug log?
        It could be better if I can get advice about experiments to
        perform / switches to try out etc.

        My SW config:
        dom0: Debian wheezy (3.6 experimental kernel, xen 4.1.3-4)
        domU: Debian wheezy 3.2.x stock kernel.

        Thanks,
        Timothy

    Are you passing hardware (PCI Passthrough) to the HVM guest?
    What are the exact messages in the DomU?


Yes, I'm doing PCI passthrough (the IGD, audio && USB controller).
But this is actually a PVHVM guest since debian stock kernel has PVOP enabled. And when I tried another PVOP disabled linux distro (openelec v2.0), I did not see such msi related error message. Actually, with that domU I do not see anything obvious wrong from the log, but I also see nothing from panel (panel receive no signal and go power-saving) :-(


Back to the issue I was reporting, the domU log looks like this:

Dec 2 21:52:44 debvm kernel: [ 1085.604071] [drm:i915_hangcheck_ring_idle]
*ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... blt ring idle [waiting on 3354, at

Thanks,

It does sound like there is a fix in 4.2.0, as indicated by Jan, that fixes this. I'm not fully clued up to what the policy for backporting fixes are, and I haven't looked at the complexity of the fix itself, but either updating to the 4.2.0 or a (personal) backport sounds like the right solution here.

Unfortunately, I hadn't seen Jan's reply by the time I wrote my response to your original email.
