[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] PIRQ handling and PVH dom0?
I further attempted to see how far PVH dom0 can get but had a general question
regarding what is not yet implemented...
With an initial version of Roger's recent "vpci/msix: fix PBA access" patches
and after refreshing his earlier 2018 patchset "vpci: add support for SR-IOV
capability" regarding SR-IOV support for PVH dom0, I was able to get both
physical functions and virtual functions of an SR-IOV network card to operate
correctly in PVH dom0.
However, it looks like any PCI-passthrough for HVM domUs with PVH dom0 is not
yet implemented. I see the "PHYSDEVOP_map_pirq" call fails since the
"emulation_flags" for dom0 do not include "XEN_X86_EMU_USE_PIRQ"...
libxl: error: libxl_pci.c:1461:pci_add_dm_done: Domain
1:xc_physdev_map_pirq irq=17 (error=-1): Function not implemented
libxl: error: libxl_pci.c:1781:device_pci_add_done: Domain
1:libxl__device_pci_add failed for PCI device 0:5:0.1 (rc -3)
libxl: error: libxl_create.c:1895:domcreate_attach_devices: Domain
1:unable to add pci devices
What is PVH dom0 missing at a conceptual level for PCI passthrough to domUs? I
naively assumed that an HVM domU guest wouldn't care much whether dom0 was PV
or PVH in terms of passthrough device IRQ handling...
Thanks
-Alex
