Description of problem:
 Xen PCI Passthrough sometimes does not work on latest xen (xen-4.1.5-5.fc17.x86_64).
 On xen-4.1.2-15.fc17.x86_64 all works good.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 kernel-3.8.4-102.fc17.x86_64
 xen-4.1.5-5.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:
 hardware requirements:
  Motherboard: Intel DQ67SW
  CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install fedora 17
2. Update system and install Xen
3. Boot fedora 17 in xen-hypervisor 
4. install domU system (Windows XP proffessional for me)
5. try to passthrough pci device '00:1d.0' (onboard usb controller)

Actual results:
domU fails to start with Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')

Expected results:
pci device in domU work perfectly

Additional info:

lspci:
...
00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 04)
...
00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 04)
...

I recorded logs in next 4 cases:

1.
xen-4.1.5-5.fc17.x86_64
pci=[ '00:1d.0' ]

domU fails to start with Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')

2.
xen-4.1.5-5.fc17.x86_64
pci=[ '00:1a.0' ]

pci device in domU work perfectly

3.
xen-4.1.2-15.fc17.x86_64
pci=[ '00:1d.0' ]

pci device in domU work perfectly

4.
xen-4.1.2-15.fc17.x86_64
pci=[ '00:1a.0' ]

pci device in domU work perfectly

Comment 1 Michael Young 2013-06-24 19:29:42 UTC
This sounds like a PCI passthrough issue that occurs following a security patch (refs. XSA-46 CVE-2013-1919 ) that was added in xen-4.1.5. There is a patch for it so I will try applying it.
