Re: [Xen-devel] Powerdown problem on XEN | ACPI S5



Hi Ben & Konrad,
thanks for your suggestions. I have to admit, I don't fully understand the commit system yet and don't know how to apply that to my gentoo sources. But I read through the thread that Ben has posted and thought, given that Ben had linked the issue to the Intel i915 driver, I'll try something that crossed my mind:

lspci lists the Intel IGD as follows:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)

So my thought process was if the IGD is to blame, I'll just exclude that from the dom0 by adding it to the xen-pciback.hide list on the module line of grub. This line now reads as follows (NOTE: all other devices except the first one (00:02.0) have been there already before my latest try):

module  /boot/gentoo-3.9.5-hardened-xen rootfstype=ext4 root=/dev/sda6 \

xen-pciback.hide=(00:02.0)(00:1b.0)(02:00.0)(03:00.0)(04:00.0)(05:00.0)(06:00.0)(09:00.0)(09:02.0)(0a:08.0)(0a:09.0)(0a:0a.0
)(0a:0b.0)

Clearly this meant that after the dom0 (gentoo hardened) was started, there was no more console output available. So I had to use ssh to login. But once I started a (remote) 'shutdown -h now' from the login bash and ... the system actually powerd off.

I guess this really proves that the (in-kernel) i915-driver which, given that the IGD is no longer available, could not have been active in the dom0, is to blame for the powerdown issue.

I am not sure whether that brings us any further in resolving the issue, but it might make sense to involve someone responsibel for the Intel IGD driver? Also I could not find much documentation for the i915.modeset kernel parameter- probably there's something in there that could help?

What are your thoughts on this.

And as always thanks for your input so far and also thanks in advance for your continued help and ideas.

This hang looks exactly like this one that I posted about in June:

This ended up being an interaction with the i915 driver in the kernel, and
pvops use of PAT.

If you revert the following linux commit:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=c79c49826270b8b0061b2fca840fc3f013c8a78a

And probably also need to revert
8eaffa67b43e99ae581622c5133e20b0f48bcef1
?

and then apply:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/10/229

You may get good results.
It helped me with a similar problem, at least.

Ben

Ok thanks.

Do you mind confirming whether S5 works with "iommu=off" on the Xen
command line?

~Andrew

  Yes, that works: The system powers off after issuing
         shutdown -h now
from the dom0.
