Hi all,
I've got a P4 3Ghz doing 3 paravirtualised guests running various
software, however it seems that if I use pciback to pass the onboard
USB controller to a guest, after a while of use, the host starts
getting DMA read errors on the local hard disk.
The error I get is:
hda: DMA interrupt recovery
hda: lost interrupt
hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x24
When this happens, all the xen guest domains and the host seem to
hang. Only a reboot via the reset button can bring the system back...
When I am not using the xen guest to stream media over the USB port
(it's a USB HDTV tuner), everything works fine.
I pass things to pciback using the following in /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
for SLOT in "0000:00:1d.0" "0000:00:1d.1" "0000:00:1d.2" "0000:00:1d.
3" "0000:00:1d.7" "0000:03:03.0" "0000:03:04.0" "0000:03:01.0"
"0000:03:01.1" "0000:03:01.2"; do
# Add a new slot to the PCI Backend's list
echo -n $SLOT > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/new_slot
# Now that the backend is watching for the slot, bind to it
echo -n $SLOT > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/bind
done

Anybody have any ideas on this?
