I previously email at xen-user list but didn't get any response. I am
using Xen-3.4.0 and 2.6.18 as dom0 kernel and facing below problem.

Subject: netback (Network backend) in domU
To: xen-users@lists.xen.org
Hi,
I am trying to setup a domU as a network backend for some other domUs.
I configured bridge in netback-domU using network-bridge script (not a
driver domain). I am assigning static ip addresses to all domUs.
Something like dom0 <-> netback-domU <-> other-domU.
In the setup, netback-domU and other-domU are able to ping each other
but whenever I tried to ping dom0 from other-domU, I get a XEN error
message "grant_table.c:387:d0 Could not pin grant frame 9d44e" and in
dom0 kernel "#### netback grant fails".
I didn't check if dom0 is trying to pin grant frame of other-domU but
why dom0 would do it. Please any help will be appreciated.
BTW does the bridge in dom0 needs to know that one of its interface is
connected to another bridge in netback-domU? (don't know how or why)
thanks,
Shakeel

Wow. That is quite ancient. Do you see the same problem with the latest
Linux kernel?

Looks like a bug in the old code.

I didn't try with newer kernel but will do it now.

And while you're at it try new Xen aswell :)
So Xen 4.1.2+ and Linux 3.4.2+.

Apart from the ancient version the main thing which I think is missing
is all the configuration detail specifics.
What are the actual network configuration in dom0 and domU? How are your
bridges setup? What hotplug scripts are you using? Are they triggering?
etc. What I'm looking for here is specific details like the outputs of
"ifconfig -a" "brctl show" the contents of files like ifcfg-*
or /etc/network/interfaces (depending on distro) in all the involved
domains.
Also how are you starting the netback-domU guest (command line), what is
its configuration file?
Same for the other-domU.
How are you attaching the vif to dom0, what command are you running to
make that happen?
When the system is setup with all domains running what does "xenstore-ls
-fp" contain? This will contain details of which device if attached to
which.

My mistake, I should have given more detail. I have included all the
necessary details in this email. I used network-bridge for creating
bridge in netback-domU and dom0 uses the same script on bootup. While
I think vif-bridge is used in both dom0 and netback-domU for hotplug
script.
The network configuration of netback-domU is
vif = ['mac=00:16:3e:00:00:94, bridge=eth0, ip=135.207.223.70']
while for other-domU is
vif = ['mac=00:16:3e:00:00:96, bridge=eth0, ip=135.207.223.71,
backend=test-domU-SD']

I have messed up my copy/paste on details of netback-domU and
other-domU. So, for these two the clear details are below:

Please don't top post, makes it harder to follow the conversation.

So if I understand correctly netback-domU's route to the outside world
if via a virtual interface connected to dom0 -- is that right?
If so then I'm afraid I think this doesn't work -- you can bridge
several netback devices together or you can bridge netfront devices
together but in the current implementation of netfront/netback I believe
it is not possible to bridge a mixture of the two.
The reason is that the netfront/back protocol currently does not make
use of "transitive grants" which are necessary for the netback-domU
domain to forward pages from a netfront to the netback running in dom0.
Trying to forward in this way without using a "transitive grant" is what
results in your original "grant_table.c:387:d0 Could not pin grant frame
9d44e" message. I'm afraid I don't know of anyone who is currently
working on implementing this feature.
The more normal configuration (which is what I thought you were using at
first) would be to pass a physical NIC to netback-domU using PCI
passthrough and then optionally create a VIF on dom0 in order to give it
access. Perhaps that would be suitable for your usecase?
Ian.

I tried the same scenario with Xen 4.1.2 and Linux 3.4.3 and it
worked. The only different thing I did was to create the bridges in
dom0 and netback-domU manually instead of using Xen script
'network-bridge'.
