Subject: [GIT PULL] pv/pciback-2.6.32
Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2010 10:42:00 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100309154200.GA22018@phenom.dumpdata.com> (raw)
Hey Jeremy
Please pull the pv/pciback-2.6.32 branch which has the back-port of the
PCI backend drivers to complement the PCI front-end driver.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git
pv/pciback-2.6.32
As in the past, I've also done a merge with xen/next, which is in the
pv/merge.xen.next, since the merge is bit hairy (again!?)
I've tested this with MSI and IRQ devices where the PCI frontend and PCI
backend are both xen/next.
Bugs:
- There are three different PCI backend choices: Passthrough, Slot and
Virtual PCI. There is not need for all of them on X86. Will remove
two soon.
How to use it:

How to turn on VT-d in Xen
--------------------------
Xen with 2.6.32 dom0:
1 ) git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git pv/merge.xen.next
3 ) cd xen.git; make menuconfig
4 ) change XEN->"PCI-device backend driver" from "M" to "*".
5 ) make all
6 ) make install && make modules_install
10) lspci - select the PCI BDF you want to assign to guest OS
11) If you see device which BAR's is not aligned you can use the
'pci=resource_alignmnet=<BDF"' command line to make it page aligned.
11) "hide" pci device from dom0 as following sample grub entry:
title Xen-Fedora Core (2.6.32-xen)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen.gz com1=115200,8n1 console=com1 iommu=1
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32 root=LABEL=/ ro console=hvc0 xen-pciback.hide=(07:00.0)(08:05.0)(08:07.0)(08:07.2) pci=resource_alignment=08:05.0
module /boot/initrd-2.6.32.img
or use dynamic hiding via PCI backend sysfs interface:
a) check if the driver has binded to the device
ls -l /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/driver
... /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/driver -> ../../../../bus/pci/drivers/igb
b) if yes, then unload the driver first
echo -n 0000:01:00.0 >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb/unbind
c) add the device to the PCI backend
echo -n 0000:01:00.0 >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/new_slot
d) let the PCI backend bind to the device
echo -n 0000:01:00.0 >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/bind
12) reboot system (not requires if you use the dynamic hiding method)
13) add "pci" line in /etc/xen/pv.conf for to assigned devices
pci = [ '01:00.0', '03:00.0' ]
15) start PV guest and use "lspci" to see the passthru device and
"ifconfig" to see if IP address has been assigned to NIC devices.
[ rest is cut off since it talks about HVM/VT-D which is not the point
of this patch ]
