When create guest with device assigned, it shows the error and the device wasn't able to work inside guest:
libxl: error: libxl_qmp.c:288:qmp_handle_error_response: received an error message from QMP server: Parameter 'driver' expects a driver name
It only fails with qemu-xen-dir-remote(Is this tree more close to upstream qemu?). I don't see the error with the traditional Qemu.
I also tried qemu-upstream, but it fails when I try to enable pci pass-through for xen. I think Anthony's patch to add pci pass-through support for Xen is accepted by qemu-upstream, am I right?
Another question:
Now I am trying to add some features (relevant to pass through device) to Qemu, which tree should I use? Since traditional qemu is great different from qemu-upstream, it is too old to develop patch base on it. But besides the old one, I cannot find a working qemu.
best regards

Yes, it was accepted, but it is present only in upstream QEMU (from
git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git), not the tree we are currently using in
xen-unstable for development
(git://xenbits.xensource.com/qemu-upstream-unstable.git).
Make sure you are using the right tree!
Anthony is currently on vacation and is going to be back in about a
week.

You should use upstream QEMU, I am going to rebase our tree on that
early on in the 4.3 release cycle.

http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/QEMU_Upstream has some notes on how to use the
upstream qemu tree instead of our stable branch of upstream.

I rebuild the upstream QEMU according to the wiki, but device static assignment doesn't work, no lspci output in guest. However hotplug & unplug works fine.

Hi Anthony,
We cannot see the device(via lspci) after guest boot up with upstream QEMU. Did you see the same problem?
We follow the steps from wiki to build QEMU upstream and do the device assignment through old way(1. hide the device, 2 set the bdf in config file).

Hi,
Do we have any conclusion on this? A bug?
We are trying to contribute codes to Xen. However, this bug has blocked us for some time. It would be great to see this fixed.

I just try to start a guest with a network card passthrough, and it
seams to work fine (the card is present in `lspci`). Maybe having some
debug could help to understand the issue. Try to run `xl -vvv create
....`.

I rebuild the upstream QEMU according to the wiki, but device static assignment doesn't work, no lspci output in guest. However hotplug & unplug works fine.

Hi Anthony
I found the issue is caused by PV driver. Since RHEL6 integrated PV driver by default, when booting rhel6 as guest, it will load the PV driver and write the xen platform device to notify qemu to unplug all NICs including the pass through device. This definitely is wrong. We only need to unplug the emulator device, and leave pass through device.
Best regards,
Yang

Hi,
So, we'll have to add a check in the unplug code of qemu to ignore
passthrough devices.
Here is a patches, I did not test it.

In old qemu, we will free the invalid NIC through this function. And it will fail w/ your change. Shouldn't we follow the old logic?

I don't understand. Are you arguing this patch or the function it self?
My change is fine and follow the old logic: do not do anything for a
passthrough device.
I now have tested the change, and QEMU work as espected, it will
unplug the emulated NIC, and ignore any passthrough devices. So the
guest can the passthroughed NIC.

No. Old logic will unplug the passthrough device which mask as invalid. And this patch just ignores all passthrough device.
I wonder whether this change will impact other part? If not, it should be ok.

I probably miss something in qemu-traditional then.
Anyway ...

This should not have any impact on any other part of QEMU.
