hi

i'm testing an 11.3 Dom0 with,

 rpm -qa | egrep -i "xen-4|kernel-xen"
  kernel-xen-2.6.37.1-4.1.x86_64
  xen-4.0.2_02-102.1.x86_64

i've a DomU, also 11.3, same kernel version.

a sata_sil24 card/driver have been hidden from Dom0, and i'm passing it
through to the DomU, as I always have, with,

 pci = [ '05:06.0' ]
 extra = 'textmode=1 xencons=xvc0 noirqdebug elevator=noop
 swiotlb=128,force'

at 1st Guest start, PCI appears, drives are seen, array can be started,
etc.  i.e., all's well.

@ any 'problem' in DomU, e.g. a kernel OOPS, I shutdown/restart the
guest -- and the PCI card appears in the guest, but NOT the drives. 
simply not there -- and afaict no error in dmesg.

shutting down the guest, restarting xend @ Dom0, and restarting the
guest is no help.  card's passed through -- just no drives.

restarting the Dom0 (system reboot), however, resets something -- and
the next launch of Guest, all's back to normal -- the drives are, again,
seen & addressable in the Guest.


as the card, and attached drives, are hidden from the Dom0, i'd suspect
that the DomU "handles" the finding of the card-attached drives, but
clearly a restart of the the Guest is not sufficient to re-init that
process.

so, 1st question -- *where* might I begin to look for this problem?

thanks.
