It sounds like part of the problem here is a matter of domains.
Jan cares mostly about what happens in the hypervisor. At the
hypervisor level, there is only the per-device configurations, and he is
keen that rmrrs be "strict" by default, unless there is an explicit flag
to relax it. (I agree with this, FWIW.)
I can't understand this point.
There's no any default flag/policy in the hypervisor level, and the
hypervisor doesn't do anything to RMRR by itself.
All actions just take place when xl/xc issue our needed requirements
according to the rdm setting in .cfg.
What we've been arguing about is the xl layer -- what settings should
xl/libxl give to the hypervisor, based on what's in the domain config?
It sounds like Jan doesn't care a great deal about it, and in any case
would defer to the tools maintainers, but that if asked for his advice
he would say that the configuration in xl.cfg should act like all the
other pci device configurations: that you have a domain-wide default
that can be overridden in the per-device setting.
I.e.:
---
rdm='reserve=strict'
pci=[ '02:0.0', '01:1.1,rdm_reserve=relaxed' ]
---
Would pass "strict" for the first device, and "relaxed" for the second.
Do I understand you both properly, Jan / Tiejun?
Yes for me.
Looks all guys would like to walk into this way in the case of RMRR, so
I can follow up this way. ( Maybe the confusion above doesn't matter now? )
Thanks
Tiejun
