similar to: IO_APIC in para-guest

Hi all, I have searched the net and haven''t found a good answer so I hope perhaps someone here can help. I have an IBM x3850 (8863) that I am upgrading from SLES11SP1 to SLES11SP2, and at the same time XEN is being upgraded as part of the distro. The server is used as a Xen host for up to 6 guests. Anyway, the server boots fine with the SLES11SP2 default kernel, and the trace

Hi Ingo, Here''s the chunk of patches to add Xen Dom0 support (it''s probably worth creating a new xen/dom0 topic branch for it). A dom0 Xen domain is basically the same as a normal domU domain, but it has extra privileges to directly access hardware. There are two issues to deal with: - translating to and from the domain''s pseudo-physical addresses and real machine

In pirq_check_eoi_map use the pirq number rather than the Linux irq number to check whether an eoi is needed in the pirq_eoi_map.

There is a BUG_ON() at xen/arch/x86/physdev.c:169 which appears to be dependent upon guest behavior (should close event channel before un-mapping pirq), rather than on internal hypervisor state. In 2.6.18, this likely goes unnoticed because pci_device_shutdown() only calls all the driver shutdown routines. In newer kernels, however, it also calls pci_msi_shutdown() and pci_msix_shutdown(), which

The IRQ handling code requires pcidevs_lock to be held only for MSI interrupts. As the handling of which was now fully moved into msi.c (i.e. while applying fine without, the patch needs to be applied after the one titled "x86: split MSI IRQ chip"), io_apic.c now also doesn''t need to include PCI headers anymore.

Since IRQ probing may touch all currently unused interrupts, we must prevent probing for those where it doesn''t make sense (to avoid triggering BUG()s or de-referencing NULL function pointers): - dynamic IRQs must never be probed - physical IRQs should only be probed when registered or identity-mapped I haven''t got feedback from the reporting party, yet, but as the change seems

Hi, Here is the patch fixing crash when apic=debug is used and APIC is not properly initialized. This issue appears during Xen Dom0 kernel boot (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git, xen/stable-2.6.32.x head), however I think that patch is rather generic and should be applied to mainline kernel (it applies to Linux Kernel Ver. 2.6.35 and Ver. 2.6.32.19 with small fuzz).

Ian, I came across the subject line on a 96GB server with over 85 VMs running. Completely frozen and unresponsive, qemu-dm processes hung on event channels. I''m using the XenServer 6.0 dom0 kernel on top of the xen-unstable tip hypervisor. I believe you solved the issue backporting some event channel patches to the 2.6.32 kernel, as described in this thread

With the .end() accessor having become optional and noting that several of the accessors'' behavior really depends on the result of msi_maskable_irq(), the splits the MSI IRQ chip type into two - one for the maskable ones, and the other for the (MSI only) non-maskable ones. At once the implementation of those methods gets moved from io_apic.c to msi.c. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich

Hi, everyone! We google a lot, but can''t find how to config the pvscsi on our ubuntu13.04 PV on HVM.There are some links http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Paravirtualized_SCSI http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Configuration_File_Options And we use the config option above Configure PVSCSI devices vscsi = [ ''/dev/sdc, 0:0:0:0'' ] I pass sdc to the hvm, but in our pvhvm (ubuntu13.04)

The hypervisor side changes for XSA-46 require the tool stack to now always map the guest pIRQ before granting access permission to the underlying host IRQ (GSI). This in particular requires that pciif.py no longer can skip this step (assuming qemu would do it) for HVM guests. This in turn exposes, however, an inconsistency between xend and qemu: The former wants to always establish 1:1 mappings
