Re: [Xen-devel] xc_altp2m_set_vcpu_enable_notify fail

[Big Strong <fangtuo90@xxxxxxxxx>]

From what I analyzed, can I draw a concolusion that the current implementation of do_altp2m_op means #ve info page can only be set on dom0 memory and the dom0 must be a hvm? This seems like ridiculous as dom0 is a special pv guest.

Further debugging shows that the domain is changed to domain 0 during the check of whether the cmd of do_altp2m_op is HVMOP_altp2m_vcpu_enable_notify, located at here. As domain 0 is a pv guest, it causes the is_hvm_domain check failed, and thus the execution never goes to HVMOP_altp2m_vcpu_enable_notify, which in the end cause xc_altp2m_set_vcpu_enable_notify fail. Why would the logic of do_altp2m_op change the domain to dom0 when the cmd of do_altp2m_op is HVMOP_altp2m_vcpu_enable_notify?

Thanks for the suggestion, after adding printk to all the routines of xc_altp2m_set_vcpu_enable_notify, it turns out that the problem is because the check of is_hvm_domain() failed in function do_altp2m_op(). However, I've already configure the VM to build as a HVM by adding option "builder=hvm" in the config file, but for unknown reason the .printk of domain->type is guest_type_pv. I've tried both windows and linux as the guest VM, both failed for the same reason. Any ideas?
