[Xen-users] XEN-4.1 PVUSB with Kernel 3.5

[Chris Fischer <chris_f@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

i am running Ubuntu Quantal with Kernel 3.5 from deb.

I am looking to use the XEN PVUSB module to use with above named kernel.
I used the source package from James Harper patched for Kernel 3.2. But 
the build failed with:

 make -C /lib/modules/3.5.0-26-generic/build 
SUBDIRS=/usr/src/xenpvusb/xen-usbback modules
make[1]: Betrete Verzeichnis '/usr/src/linux-headers-3.5.0-26-generic'
  CC [M]  /usr/src/xenpvusb/xen-usbback/xenbus.o

make: *** [default] Fehler 2

As I am not firm with module/kernel programming i could not understand 
the message, a google search shows only the standard xen usb sites.
Some time ago i was able to compile the module under debian kernel 3.2, 
but i was not able to passthrough more than one usb stick.
The goal is to passthrough some codemeter usb sticks to the domu running 
windows XP. Actual i can only passthrough one of them
with

 usb = 1
 usbdevice = host:xxxx:yyyy

All sticks have the same vendor and product id, so this config only 
passes one of the sticks.
I also tried the usbip project from sourceforge, it worked with one 
stick (didn't try more), but this creates a log file for the usbip 
session. As there is no option to avoid this, i have the fear it will 
flood my harddisk and run into stopping the system. The licenses 
provided by the codemeter sticks are used nearly round the clock the 
working days, the usb passthrough should work reliable, speed is not the 
 bottleneck here.
How can i passthrough 4 sticks to my domu. PCI passthrough is not 
possible, since the mainboard of the dom0 does not support ioemmu.
Thanks for your suggestion in advance.

Chris Fischer
