Thread-topic: VM creation failure using passthrough with latest unstable

I have pulled a recent (today’s) clone of staging/xen-unstable.hg and I get a failure when trying to create a domain with xend/xm. The failure I get is:

 

Error: (‘<domain GUID>’, ‘VM_metrics’)

 

I have traced the problem down to where the  pci = [ ’02:00.0’ ] parameter (which is the value in my case) from my configuration file is being tested in xc.c:pyxc_test_assign_device(). This function fails and causes the calling code in xm/create.py:make_domain() to fail. The attached log shows the output where this fails – the wrong values for the bus/dev/func are clearly being traced out.

 

Something changed in the last 2 – 3 weeks to cause this. I do not see this issue with a July 2 pull of unstable. I will keep digging but I hoped something would ring a bell.

 

Thanks

Ross
