Description of problem: I used two interfaces for child vm eth0 and eth1 using interface type = ethernet, eth0 is working but eth1 is not working. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.8.2-1 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start child VM for 2 interfaces supporting using interface type = ethernet -net nic,macaddr=xxx:fe,vlan=0,name=nic0 -net tap,ifname=tap1,script=/KVM/vm-tap1.sh,vlan=0,name=tap1 -net nic,macaddr=xxx,vlan=1,name=nic1 -net tap,ifname=tap2,script=/KVM/vm-tap2.sh,vlan=1,name=tap2 2. Above script create tap interface and add desire ip route automatically, i mention the detail of script in Additional info section. 3. On child up the eth1 and ping from kvm host , its not pinging/responding. Actual results: when try to ping eth1 from kvm host, its gives destination unreachable, as eth0 is pinging . tcpdump on eth1 guest and arp results on kvm host shows below. tcpdump on eth1 17:05:55.213100 ARP, Request who-has 22.22.22.22 tell x.x.x.x, length 46 17:05:56.213493 ARP, Request who-has 22.22.22.22 tell x.x.x.xlength 46 Arp -e results on kvm host Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface x.x.x.x ether 52:54:00:56:40:56 C tap1 --> ok for eth0 x.x.x.x (incomplete) tap2 --> problem for eth1 Expected results: eth1 should be ping and accessible from kvm host and from outer world. Additional info: Child VM OS = Fedora-13 also Above Network script use below #!/bin/bash IP= x.x.x.x # (ip of eth1) TAP=tap2 SIP=x.x.x.x # (ip of kvm host) tap=`ifconfig |grep $TAP` if [ "$tap" == '' ] ;then tap=`tunctl -b -u root -t $TAP` fi ifconfig $TAP $SIP netmask 255.255.255.255 up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/$TAP/proxy_arp route=`ip route show |grep $IP` if [ "$route" == '' ] ;then ip route add $IP/32 dev $TAP fi Same above all is working for eth0 , but eth1 is not working/responding. I sure if same is working for eth0 then it must be working for eth1, but it cant work, after FC11. Kindly suggest please, we are very badly suffer this behaviour.
Any suggestions please ? , we are badly suffer from this problem. Thanks Muzi
I think i have now reach near to the problem, eth1 is basically receiving packets but not transmit data, i think reason is eth1 shares both an interrupt and memory access address with usb device, cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 219 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 6 IO-APIC-edge i8042 4: 88 IO-APIC-edge serial 8: 1 IO-APIC-edge rtc0 9: 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi acpi 10: 32103630 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth0 11: 330595 IO-APIC-fasteoi uhci_hcd:usb1, eth1 As see in 11: , how can i fix or change interrupts for eth1 on child guest ? kindly suggest please. Can i try to disable usb device ? Thanks Muzi
