Tested the proposed package and it does give a working 8139cp connection in HVM mode. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bug

For completeness this is the backported version of the Xen 4.2 patch. But since it is more complex, the recommendation would be to go with the first (simpler) patch. ** Patch added: "Backport version of upstream patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen/+bug/854829/+attachment/25175

This is the (tested) minimal fix for the xen 4.1.1 hypervisor. The problem with the more complete patch against 4.2 is that it needs to keep the number of "lost" interrupts per pirq. It does that by adding an element to the pirq struct (which does not exist in 4.1.1). So for the backport of that on

Stefano Stabellini replied: Thanks for the very detailed analysis. It seems to me that the problem is that if the interrupt is a level triggered interrupt when the guest issues an EOI we should be reinjecting the interrupt again if it has been issued a second time in the meantime. However this

The patch needed some changes because the code we use in Oneiric is 4.1.1 and is different here. Tested the adapted patch and did not see the network stalls anymore. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpa

Replicating some information that was sent to the mailing list: It took quite a bit of time but at least I got some hopefully useful information now. So in general, whenever an interrupt is asserted, the hypervisor runs through this: __hvm_pci_intx_assert: when assert count was 0 before increme

Testing various emulated devices shows: - ne2k_pci gets the tx problems almost immediatly - 8139cp on any slightly higher traffic - e1000 seems to work When pirq's are not used, 8139cp also works again. So there seems to be a subtle bug in the delivery of those. -- You received this bug notifica
