usbpassthrough of xen-4.1.2 update

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 879 bytes --]

Hi, everyone! The same question with updated message.

I am working on the USB passthrough of Xen-4.1.2. My host OS  is Fedora 14
and the guest OS is win7.

According to the wiki page(http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_USB_Passthrough),

xen supports passthrough of usb device from dom0 to guests. I have tried
the Xen HVM guest qemu-dm usb1.1 emulation,

by specifying "usb = 1" and "usbdevice = host:xxxx:yyyy". I have also tried
the command usb_add host:xxxx:yyyy.

But, the mouse could work, the keyboard didn't, and the usb storage
device(usb 2.0) appeared in the device manager.

While the driver is OK, it couldn't start. I can only find the message
 "The device cannot start(code 10)".

I doubt there may be something wrong with the guest OS driver, which is not
said to be needed.

I am confused and don't know how to resolve it.  Could anyone help me?

Great thanks!

huqian

It might be a bug in the USB emulation code in the old qemu-dm traditional.

Any errors in:
- "dmesg" output? 
- /var/log/xen/qemu-dm* (for the windows vm).
- "xm dmesg" output ?

I haven't found any  obvious error infomation in the log or command output.
Below is some output message of dmesg,
which I think may be useful. The sentence "usb-storage: waiting for device
to settle before scanning" has repeated for
many times. Does it mean the missing of usb device?

Do you also re-assign the device from the Linux kernel? Like this:

(the C408 0040 is my mouse).

 cd /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid
 for a in `ls -1 | grep :`
 do
   for DEV in C408 0040
   do
        grep $DEV $a/modalias
        if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                echo "Unbinding $a for $DEV"
                echo $a > unbind
        fi
   done
 done

This is what the config file looks for me:
builder='hvm'
memory = 2048
name = "Windows7"
vcpus=3
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vg_guest/Win7_Home,hda,w']
vnc=1
videoram=8
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
vncpasswd=''
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
tsc_mode=0
usb=1
usb_add="host:045e:0040"
usbdevice='tablet'
xen_platform_pci=1
# Remember QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa
soundhw='es1370'
pci=['01:00.0','01:00.1','02:00.0']

Hey,

This reminds me.. is qemu-dm (traditional) automatically compiled with PulseAudio support enabled these days? 
How about Alsa support? 

Or do we need Makefile tweaks before building Xen/Qemu..

Not that I know off. I had to enable it it my makefile/configure script.

But the other thing is that is a pain in the butt to work right.
You have to (as root) set these:

export PULSE_SERVER=192.168.101.16
export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa

so that qemu-dm knows to use PA, and that PA knows where to send data.

And then on the client side (so ~/.pulse/default):
load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=192.168.101.0/24
and then also open a firewall port for it on the client side.

The GSOC work that was done to make a PulseAudio client for PV guests
was more promising - as it would automatically configure the host/client
(if they were running on the same machine). Granted it meant you had
to install some extra-third party under Windows. But it is not ready.

> How about Alsa support? 

Hadn't tried it. I thought that ALSA has gone out of favour and
PulseAudio is the new king?

This was the only modification to the ioemu I had to do:
 
diff --git a/xen-setup b/xen-setup
index c3af79b..f674ba8 100755
--- a/xen-setup
+++ b/xen-setup
@@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ if test -z "${XEN_SCRIPT_DIR}"; then
 	XEN_SCRIPT_DIR="/etc/xen/scripts"
 fi
 
-${QEMU_ROOT:-.}/configure --disable-gfx-check --disable-curses --disable-slirp "$@" --prefix=${PREFIX}
+${QEMU_ROOT:-.}/configure --disable-gfx-check --disable-curses --disable-slirp "$@" --prefix=${PREFIX} --audio-drv-list=pa
 
 if [ "x$XEN_ROOT" != x ]; then
 	echo "XEN_ROOT=$XEN_ROOT" >>config-host.mak


The sound quality is not perfect - but when I play Left4Dead under Win7
(with PCI passthrough of a network card and radeon GPU) the moans
of zombies as they get whacked by my baseball is satisfyingly enough.

I am sorry what does the re-assign mean? By the way, where can I find the
ID C408 0040?

It seems not to be the message listed by "lsusb".

Below is my config file, similar with yours.

import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
   arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
  arch_libdir = 'lib'

builder = "hvm"
memory = "1024"
disk = [ 'file:/root/win7.img,hda,w',
#         'file:/mnt/win7.iso,hdc:cdrom,r',
        ]
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:3f:74:01 , bridge=eth0  ,model=e1000', ]
