Hi Konrad, I have changed my setup a bit, using my old workstation as a xen test platform at the moment. I''m now running: - Xen-unstable xen_changeset : Fri Sep 10 19:06:33 2010 +0100 22132:3985fea87987 - Dom0: pvops stable-2.6.32.x last commit b297cdac0373625d3cd0e6f2b393570dcf2edba6 - DomU: Own merge of: -linus 2.6.36(-rc4) tree last commit 9c03f1622af051004416dd3e24d8a0fa31e34178 -your pci-front 0.6 tree - Only one domU is running (copy of the one i used before on the other machine) - Only one pci-e xhci hostcontroller is passed through (02:00.0) - domU is booted with only iommu-soft What happens: - domU boots fine, pci device is present, lsusb shows the card, but the grab util can''t find the grabber on /dev/video0 - The app keeps on trying .. - What i do see is a continuing stream of suspected kmemleaks in the domU Any more debug info/output can of course be generated ... -- Sander

[Xen-devel] Re: pci passthrough xhci host controller
Hi Konrad, I indeed have the feeling the memleak''s aren''t huge, and adding the diverse kernel hacking debug options, ended op doing more wrong than right. I have turned off the options i added, re-instated the "swiotlb=force" in the domU config to see if it goes from a working to a freezing config, but i have the feeling it will not make a difference. Then i have 4 differences left: - Other dom0 kernel since the tests resulting in continous freezes of my server - Other domU kernel since the tests resulting in continous freezes of my server - Other workload (server is running more VM''s) - Other physical hardware - server is AMD phenom X6, current config Intel quad core - Both have there iommu disabled - Both are 64 capable cpu''s with 64 xen, dom0 and domU - But most notably perhaps, the intel has only 2GB RAM, the server 8GB Could the available physical RAM be an issue here ? I limit the ram for dom0 with dom0_mem After this test succeeds on the intel machine, i will retry the samen xen,dom0 kernel and domU kernel on the AMD config. Is there anything i can especially log/configure/debug to get more detail to see if the 8GB could be the problem ? -- Sander Monday, September 20, 2010, 10:33:44 PM, you wrote:> On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 11:09:35PM +0200, Sander Eikelenboom wrote: >> Hi Konrad, >> >> I have changed my setup a bit, using my old workstation as a xen test platform at the moment. >> >> I''m now running: >> - Xen-unstable xen_changeset : Fri Sep 10 19:06:33 2010 +0100 22132:3985fea87987 >> - Dom0: pvops stable-2.6.32.x last commit b297cdac0373625d3cd0e6f2b393570dcf2edba6 >> - DomU: Own merge of: >> -linus 2.6.36(-rc4) tree last commit 9c03f1622af051004416dd3e24d8a0fa31e34178 >> -your pci-front 0.6 tree >> >> - Only one domU is running (copy of the one i used before on the other machine) >> - Only one pci-e xhci hostcontroller is passed through (02:00.0) >> - domU is booted with only iommu-soft >> >> What happens: >> - domU boots fine, pci device is present, lsusb shows the card, but the grab util can''t find the grabber on /dev/video0 >> - The app keeps on trying ..> What was the error with the /dev/video0? > The same as before where the em_8xx died in a horrible death?>> - What i do see is a continuing stream of suspected kmemleaks in the domU> Hmm..

Re: [Xen-devel] Re: pci passthrough xhci host controller
Hi Konrad, Since it all seemed to work on the intel machine, i returned to the AMD .. And with the same hypervisor, dom0 and domU versions, i did experience a freeze already (within 2 hours after fresh boot), with the same boot options. Currently i''m testing the suggestions you made below, i hope i can give some news in about 2 days ... Thanks again !

I think > you might need this in conjunction with maxmem, say: maxmem=4GB dom0_mem=max:512MB> This way your 8GB machine has 4GB of memory available for both dom0 and the guest.I have used mem=4G and dom0_mem=768M, this does limit the available ram to less than 4G and makes dom0 768M. I also used "noirqbalance" for xen, and used the suggestion of Pasi: libata.noacpi=1 booted both dom0 and domU with "iommu=soft" only, no swiotlb=force specified.>> >> After this test succeeds on the intel machine, i will retry the samen xen,dom0 kernel and domU kernel on the AMD config. >> Is there anything i can especially log/configure/debug to get more detail to see if the 8GB could be the problem ?> I think we have concluded that the device in question (3.0 PCIe USB host controller) can do > 64-bit DMA.

Although latency could be an issue when the xhci driver/hardware would be more sensitive to that, or it would enter paths in the driver that haven''t had much testing, the latency issues shouldn''t be much different from USB2. The capture device is the same, and using the same driver and bandwidth in either case ... That said .. it could be a corner case in the driver, that in combination with more than 4G ram could do something wrong perhaps, (and perhaps than only in combination with xen) When i look at /proc/buddyinfo in the dom0, i only see the figures on the line DMA32 changing (allocating and freeing) Node 0, zone DMA 7 13 6 5 7 1 2 3 3 1 1 Node 0, zone DMA32 354 823 585 149 60 19 13 0 0 1 0 Node

Re: [Xen-devel] Re: pci passthrough xhci host controller
Hello Konrad, I have done some more tests, the results: - boot xen with mem=4G, > 2 days uptime with passthrough and videograbbing - boot xen without mem=4G, < 1 day freeze with passthrough and videograbbing - on both no problems as long as you don''t grab video (so the controller doesn''t do much) - on both no problems when grabbing video with usb2, so it''s xhci specific I haven''t changed anything else, same number of VM''s running etc. etc., videograbbing is working on both (until the freeze or until i ended the test) I''m reading some messages about msi(-x) interrupt problems with xen on xen-devel, and suggestions to try noirqbalance with xen, so on both i use noirqbalance. So it seems to be related to the amount of mem available. I do see one difference on the domU, with mem=4G i see some occasional warnings in syslog: Sep 28 17:55:02 security kernel: [81744.078288] xhci_hcd 0000:07:00.0: WARN: transfer error on endpoint Sep 28 17:55:02 security kernel: [81744.092653] xhci_hcd 0000:07:00.0: WARN: transfer error on endpoint Sep 28 17:55:02 security kernel: [81744.093647] xhci_hcd 0000:07:00.0: WARN: transfer error on endpoint Sep 28 17:55:02 security kernel: [81744.093647] xhci_hcd 0000:07:00.0: WARN: transfer error on endpoint Sep 28 17:55:02 security kernel: [81744.093647] xhci_hcd 0000:07:00.0: WARN: transfer error on endpoint I don''t see these warnings in the syslog when no mem=4G is used, so a hunch would be it goes wrong there while the xhci code tries to clean something up. It could do something "strange" that seems to work on bare metal and on xen with mem=4G, but freezes everything with mem > 4G and gives no time to write the warning to the syslog / disk in time. in the syslog of dom0 i do see some occasional memleaks going by, but one set could be related: Sep 28 17:55:19 localhost kernel: [81962.053321] kmemleak: 22 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak) I will add a script that cat''s the content of /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak to syslog when kmemleak reports new suspected leaks.

Re: [Xen-devel] Re: pci passthrough xhci host controller
Hmmm i can get it to freeze with or without the mem=4G now. Letting the domU grab video, and let dom0 compile a kernel with make -j6 lets the machine freeze after a very short while .. With all the debug things the machine seems a bit slow any how for a six core, but it seems to choke on the interrupts generated by the xhci controller. With the host controller now using 32bit instead of 64bit DMA it now shows with or without the mem=4G some warnings before freezing: Oct 2 00:23:07 security kernel: [ 524.020717] xhci_hcd 0000:07:00.0: Spurious interrupt. Oct 2 00:23:10 security kernel: [ 526.926654] xhci_hcd 0000:07:00.0: Spurious interrupt. Oct 2 00:23:11 security kernel: [ 527.714567] xhci_hcd 0000:07:00.0: Spurious interrupt.

When i do the kernel compile with the domU started, but not grabbing video, the kernel compile completes without a problem. With the domU running cpuburn, it does complete without a problem. I do have the feeling the videograbbing does cause a lot of interrupts .. (this is still booting xen with noirqbalance and dom0 and domU with pci=nomsi).

Re: [Xen-devel] Re: pci passthrough xhci host controller
Ok the freezing on a kernel compile with "make -j6" was a cpu0 stall, so it''s locked, by that amount that i can''t use ctrl-a to get in the hypervisor. Removing the noirqbalance makes it possible to compile the kernel in dom0 while videograbbing in domU.
