[Xen-devel] pci pass-through, NIC card |
I would assume you see "Intel VT-d has been enabled" in you full log
file, correct?
Given that dom0 devices are working OK - this means VT-d translation is
working correctly for dom0.
The current code maps entire guest memory in VT-d by sharing with p2m
table. The vt-d page fault you are seeing should only happen if the
guest is using some DMA address that is not coverred by the P2m page
table - which is shouldn't have happened.
I have seen this type of fault if the BIOS is not programming VT-d HW
correctly.
Who's the vendor of this Stoakley system? We can try to duplicate the
problem here if we can get hold of the same system.
