This is unfortunately a symptom of much more basic bug in Xen. Particularly on recent server parts, there are many PCI devices which represent processor internals and aren't safe to give even to dom0. There should be a whitelist of devices we consider safe, not a blacklist of those we know to be unsafe. Most of this can be class based, and perhaps we can default-allow all devices which are slots in a root port, but I am -1 to this patch because it is fixing a symptom, not the problem. ~Andrew _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel
