This series of patches add the function to dom0 linux to reserve PCI device for guest domain with device path. Following is example of device path. PNP0A03:100-1c.1-00.0 Currently if we assign PCI device to guest domain, we have to specify PCI device with "pciback.hide=" boot parameter. If PCI device has small memory resource and BIOS does not assign page-aligned memory resource, we have to specify PCI device with "reassigndev=" boot parameter also. "pciback.hide=" and "reassigndev=" use SBDF(Segment#, Bus#, Device#, Function#). Segment# and Bus# can be changed at boot time. So they are not suitable for specifying PCI device at boot time. My patches integrate "pciback.hide=" and "reassigndev=" into one "guestdev=" boot parameter. So we have to specify only one boot parameter. The format of device path is following. <hid>[:<uid>]-<dev>.<func>[-<dev>.<func>[...]] Device path is not changed at boot time. So it is suitable for specifying PCI device at boot time. My patches add "reassign_resources" boot parameter too. If reassignment is needed, please set it. Following is example of dom0 linux's boot parameter. reassign_resources guestdev=PNP0A03:100-1c.1-00.0,PNP0A03:100-1d.7 The series consists of following patches. 1. Expose HID,UID,SEG,BBN of PCI root bridge via sysfs. 2. Add "guestdev=" boot parameter. 3. Bind PCI back driver to PCI device specified by "guestdev=". 4. Cleanup function name relating resource reassignment. I will take a vacation from 27 Dec. to 4 Jan. I will not be able to respond to a mail. Thanks, -- Yuji Shimada. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
