[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-users] HVM VGA Passthrough to Win7 64 with Xen 4.3
Hardware:
16gb Ram
AMD FX-8320
MSI 970A-G43
Primary GPU Radeon HD6570 01:00.0,01:00.1
Secondary GPU Radeon HD7950 02:00.0,02:00.1
Dom0 Ubuntu 12.04
Kernel 3.5.0-39
xen 4.3
xl toolset
DomU Win7 64bit
It took some shuffling to hide the HD7950 from
Ubuntu, it's boot process, and X, but pciback seems
to own it now (xl pci-assingable-list shows the 02:00.0
and 02:00.1 when the Win7 DomU isn't running.)
Win7 runs/installs with the emulated video card, and
networking works.
With the drivers installed Win7 seems to see the 7950,
the hardware manager shows it with a yellow warning
triangle/excalmation point. I'm seeing
This device cannot find enough free resources that it can
use (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable
one of the other devices on this system.
In the /var/log/xen/xen-hotplug.log I'm seeing lots of
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported
but I think they are harmless.
In /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-Win7.hvm.log I'm seeing:
xen_ram_alloc: do not alloc 10f800000 bytes of ram at 0 when runstate
is INMIGRATE
xen_ram_alloc: do not alloc 800000 bytes of ram at 10f800000 when
runstate is INMIGRATE
xen_ram_alloc: do not alloc 10000 bytes of ram at 110000000 when
runstate is INMIGRATE
xen_ram_alloc: do not alloc 10000 bytes of ram at 110010000 when
runstate is INMIGRATE
in snippets of dmesg from boot that may be of interest:
Grub command line (I think I have all the magic to hide 02:00.0):

We can see it on the PCI bus:

I don't know why vgaarb grabs it (or if this is ok):

It seems like the drm stuff lets go of it and picback gets
it:
[ 12.475932] [drm] radeon: finishing device.

[ 12.584854] pciback 0000:02:00.1: seizing device
I don't know if this is good:
[ 12.603755] vgaarb: device changed decodes:
PCI:0000:01:00.0,olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=none:owns=io+mem
[ 12.603758] vgaarb: transferring owner from PCI:0000:01:00.0 to
PCI:0000:02:00.0
This seems like what I want to happen when the Win7 hvm starts up:
[ 40.821498] xen-pciback: vpci: 0000:02:00.0: assign to virtual slot 0
[ 40.822125] xen-pciback: vpci: 0000:02:00.1: assign to virtual slot 0 func 1
My xorg is set up to only look at the 6750
with BusId "PCI:1:0:0"
So, qeustions.
Do I have hardware that will work for hvm
Win7 (HD6570 for Dom0, and HD7950 for DomU,
970 bridge chip Mobo and VT-d enabled?)
Do I have the right software to "work out
of the box"? (4.3 xen release and 12.04
ubuntu)
Am I doint something silly or are there more things
I should look for?
My next explorations will be trying to pass the 7950 to
an ubuntu HVM to see what happens, and see if booting
in text mode (and keeping the kernel/frame buffer out
of it) does anything.
Thanks for your time.
