Hi Weidong,
Thanks for your replies...
I now have Windows XP DomU with
Primary VGA , USB Keyboard + Mouse Passthrough. I am using 2.6.30-rc3 pvops
with netbk vif.
Primary VGA is Nvidia Geforce
GTX260
The DomU has hangs/locks with
any graphics intensive operations, i.e. Opening Internet Explorer on the MSN
homepage makes DomU freeze !!
I noticed in the attached qemu
log that the some of the memory addresses are not the same as the lspci output:
pt_register_regions: IO region registered
(size=0x01000000 base_addr=0xb6000000)
pt_register_regions: IO region registered
(size=0x10000000 base_addr=0xe000000c)
pt_register_regions:
IO region registered (size=0x02000000 base_addr=0xb4000004)
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia
Corporation GT200 [GeForce GTX 260] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: nVidia
Corporation Device 068e
Flags: bus master,
fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
[virtual] Memory at
b6000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
Memory at e0000000
(64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
Memory at b4000000
(64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M]
I/O ports at 3000
[size=128]
Is this expected ?
Would you have any idea why this
would be so unstable / crash ?
Also, the Mouse is passthrough
using usbdevice=”host:##:##”, but has a really bad lag/delay on refresh .. can
this be helped ?
Cheers,
Tim

Hi Weidong,
Thank you for all your hard work
;)
I have just successfully passed
through my Nvidia Geforce GTX260 as a fully functional card to my WinXP DomU
!!!!!
My findings so far:
1) Tried with my 9500 GT
(Secondary card) which DOES load the driver successfully but NO output on the
Monitor (VGA is sized correctly but monitor is OFF)
2) GTX260 (Primary card) (Dom0
boot VGA) starting DomU from remote SSH console, VGA Loads and Display works
!!!!
In both cases I am using the
NVidia binary driver in the WinXP DomU.
The 9500GT (Secondary card)
passthrough still has issues, the driver loads without the Monitor displaying
anything (DPMS?) and if I make ANY changes to the DomU Graphics then the DomU
locks up hard.
[Weidong]: I didn't try 9500GT. Seems it needs extra
hacks.
In both cases the VGA card only
works the FIRST time, I.e. FLR is required to reset the card for re-use,
display become corrupt on second boot of DomU. Restart Dom0 and the VGA will
work again the first time DomU is started.
[Weidong]: Yes, it's not
reset well. I suspect it's still in graphics mode, so cannot display the boot
messages in VGA mode. In my experiments, WinXP guest can still
boot into graphics mode, although you cannot see booting
progress.
Is there anyway we can
impletement the d3r, sbr or flr functionality that is in XCI? I would like to
see if a sbr will enable to Card to be reset.
[Weidong]: these reset functions are already in xen-unstable,
but no one can really reset gfx. In my feeling, it needs vendor
specific method to reset it.
I would also like to debug the
issue with Secondary passthrough as it seems that this is nearly there too ...
Regards,
Tim

Dear Magee,
Any luck with the Intel vga passthrough patches to xen 3.5-unstable
on Intel DQ45CB with extra PCI-e x16 graphics card? Are you using pvops dom 0
kernels 2.6.30-rc3 and 2.6.31-rc6?

That was the problem,
thank you. Now I’ll work on testing the gfx-passthrough patches.

I suspect you are using old hvm config file. The device_model is
changes in config file.
in old config file:
# New stuff
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
in new config file:
# Device Model to be used
device_model = 'qemu-dm'
Pls check it, and use the latest config file to create guest.

Weidong

I have not been able to passthrough any PCI
devices using the latest xen-unstable. I have a DQ45CB, and have
successfully passed devices to guests using 3.4.1.
The latest c/s in my copy of xen-unstable
is 20145. I just started playing around with unstable yesterday, so I
can’t tell you if earlier revisions worked. I’ve tried with various dom0
kernels, the current 2.6.18.8-xen branch, a xenified 2.6.29.6, and a pvops
2.6.31-rc6, and in every case I get the same error. I’ve tried both
putting pci= in the config file, and hot-adding the device using xm
pci-attach. In every case, the xm command (either create or pci-attach)
fails with the message “Error: Timed out waiting for device model
action”. The guests in every case are HVM guests, some flavors of
Windows, as well as the Knoppix 5.3.1 DVD.
The relevant xm dmesg output is:
(XEN) PCI add device 00:1b.0
(XEN) [VT-D]iommu.c:1292:d0 domain_context_unmap:PCIe:
bdf = 0:1b.0

domain_context_mapping:PCIe: bdf = 0:1b.0

(XEN) [VT-D]iommu.c:1178:d0
domain_context_mapping:PCIe: bdf = 0:1b.0
And the messages from qemu-log:
dm-command: hot insert pass-through pci dev
hot add pci slot -2 exceed.
Please let me know what else I need to
supply to help resolve this problem. If I need to enable debugging
messages, let me know the best way to do this.
