[Xen-devel] about sr-iov

["Zhuo Song" <alfred.z.song@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I got a problem when prepared to pass-thru 82576 ethernet card with SR-IOV support.

 

The 82576 card is build-in on the board. When loading igb driver for the card, dmesg show some errors like:

 

pci 0000:05:00.0: BAR 10: can't allocate mem resource [0xfbf00000-0xfbefffff]

…

igb 0000:05:00.0: not enough MMIO resources for SR-IOV

igb 0000:05:00.0: Failed to initialize SR-IOV virtualization

 

Some system information from DMI as below:

 

XEN 4.0.0, DOM0 kernel 2.6.32, igb driver 2.2.9

 

System Information

        Manufacturer: HP

        Product Name: ProLiant DL160 G6

        ROM Size: 2048 kB

        BIOS Revision: 8.15

 

LAN option rom, the version is intel agent boot GE 1.3.24, PXE2.1

 

Processor Information

        Socket Designation: Proc 2

        Type: Central Processor

        Family: Xeon

        Manufacturer: Intel           

        Signature: Type 0, Family 6, Model 26, Stepping 5

The same igb driver works well on a dell server with 82576 adapter. I thought BIOS got some problem to assign right memory for VFs and I tried to pass *pci=assign-busses* to kernel, but it still failed. Does the 82576 card SR-IOV need a BIOS enable and a *REBOOT* to make the function active?  Can anyone just give me some ideas? Thanks.

 

Best Regards

Gif me a visky, ginger ale on the side.
