Thread-topic: pci pass-through failure on xen 3.3.0

Hi Dexuan,

 

Thanks for your patch. It looks like the below problem fixed.

But now I ended up with “non-page aligned bar address” error.

Xend log and lspci config space are given below,

 

By the way, I could see in the script that all the pci devices behind the bridge should be co-assigned to the same guest.

Does it mean that we could not export each device function on a multi-function card to separate guests?

 

Xend log is,

Hi Masroor,

BTW, you can simply apply the patch directly: login the target host, cd /usr/lib64/python/xen, patch -p4 < fix_find_parent.patch; xend restart.

 

Thanks,

Hi Masroor,

Looks there is an incorrect assumption.

Could you please help to test the attached patch? If it doesn't work, can you attached your output of "lspci -tv" and "lspci -xxx -vvv"?

 

Thanks!

Hi all,

 

I downloaded the xen 3.3.0 and now testing the pci pass-through with the NIC.

Using late binding, the pci slot  0000:08:01.0 is assigned to pciback.

But pci related xm commands are not working.

 

For eg:

linux-242:/home/xen-3.3.0 # xm pci-list-assignable-devices

Unexpected error: <type 'exceptions.OSError'>

 

Please report to xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:06:00.0/config'

 

I checked the above python scripts.

The function find_parent() in file util/pci.py, tries to find the parent device from the file link ../../../devices/pci0000:06/0000:06:01.0/0000:08:01.0

When it sees pci0000:06, it tries to read the config space of 0000:06:00.0 which doesn’t exist. This causes the above error.
