Re: [Xen-devel] Video Presentation on PCI Express x16 VGA Pass Through to Xen-based Windows XP Home Edition HVM Virtual Machine

Attached in this email are also my kernel configurations for pvops dom 0 kernels 2.6.30-rc3, 2.6.31-rc6, and 2.6.31.1.

Disk I/O performance is still better in 2.6.30-rc3 than 2.6.31-rc6 and 2.6.31.1.

Dear Jeremy and all,

I had previously tried pvops dom0 kernel 2.6.31-final but I could not get it to boot successfully so I guess it
had some bugs.

Today I just tried pvops dom 0 kernel 2.6.31.1. It compiled, booted up and started winxp home domU successfully!

So I guess bugs which were present in 2.6.31 were resolved in 2.6.31.1. I did not set any dom0_mem for 2.6.31.1.

Do you have CONFIG_SWIOTLB enabled?  I'm presuming you must because Xen
always configures it, but these crashes look like something is amiss
with it.

Also, try a new kernel - as of today - because I just fixed a pretty
serious bug.  However it should only affect reliability when doing guest
IO, not just normal bootup.  (It may have some bearing on your
performance regression.)
