Hi Chris,

I want to use Vt-d, of course. I've set up VGA passthrough just the same, and it's fine as far as I can tell. ;-)

regards,
Helmut

If you are using qemu for your passthrough that would be your
performance problem right there.... Did you try pvusb? VT-d?

Hi,

I used qemu-dm USB 1.1 passthrough to use a USB mouse on a windows XP domU.
I even installed the gplpv drivers, but performance is still lacking.
Next I wanted to passthrough the whole USB controller using PCI passthrough,
as described here http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenUSBPassthrough.
I've hidden the PCI devices using xen-pciback.hide kernel parameters.

I'm running xen-4.0.0 STABLE on a 2.6.31.13 and debian 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64
kernels, same error happens on both.

xm pci-list-assignable-devices gives
0000:0f:00.0
0000:00:1a.0
0000:00:1a.1

Where 00:1a are the two USB controllers I want to pass through.
See here:
lspci -nn|grep USB
00:1a.0 USB Controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB
UHCI Controller #4 [8086:3a37]
00:1a.1 USB Controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB
UHCI Controller #5 [8086:3a38]
(....)

The domU fails to come up, here's the qemu-dm log:

I haven't tried using pci-stub yet, but I don't think the result will be
different. What's the problem here?
My domU works (more or less ;-) )fine without those two PCI devices passed
through.

regards,
Helmut
