[Xen-devel] SWIOTLB allocation failed

[Lukas Hejtmanek <xhejtman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm using Xen 3.1 with kernel 2.6.18. If I use swiotlb=force option to boot
domU, I got the following message:
xm create -c skirit60-1
Using config file "/etc/xen/skirit60-1".

Kernel panic - not syncing: No suitable physical memory available for SWIOTLB
buffer!
Use dom0_mem Xen boot parameter to reserve
some DMA memory (e.g., dom0_mem=-128M).


is there something I could do to improve domU? Dom0 has only 256MB RAM, system
has 4GB RAM total. (DomU is assigned 2.5GB RAM.)
