[Spice-devel] Vioserial of Windows guest OS on Qemu 0.15

[Charles.Tsai-蔡清海-研究發展部]

Vadim,

Thank you for your prompt reply. Here are the information for our test case.


1) we use the following command line to launch the guest OS


/usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-0.14 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name win_xp -uuid d9388815-ddd3-c38e-33c2-a9d5fcc7a775 -nodefconfig -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/win_xp.monitor,server,nowait
-mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=readline
-rtc base=localtime
-device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,multifunction=on,addr=0x5.0x0
-drive file=/media/Images/Windows-XP.img,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=raw
-device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=1
-netdev tap,fd=17,id=hostnet0
-device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:e8:dc:b1,bus=pci.0,multifunction=on,addr=0x3.0x0
-chardev pty,id=charserial0
-device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0
-chardev spicevmc,id=charchannel0,name=vdagent
-device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0
-usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0
-spice port=5900,addr=0.0.0.0,disable-ticketing
-vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=67108864 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,multifunction=on,addr=0x4.0x0



2). In Guest Windows XP OS


When the following callback function of the vioserial device  is called in guest OS. The allocated resources is empty.


VIOSerialEvtDevicePrepareHardware() ---This function is to get the I/O address of the vioserial device and map the physical address to the logical address space.

I added the following trace and the value of nListSize is ZERO.
TraceEvents(TRACE_LEVEL_INFORMATION, DBG_PNP, "%s (nListSize=%d)\n", __FUNCTION__,nListSize); 


So far, we have tested Qemu 0.14 without any problem but Qemu 0.15 seemed to be broken in vioserial device.
Let me know if you need further information. Thanks.

Could you post "pci info" output?

thanks,
