Depending on how new your libvirt is, you can force it to stop dropping capabilities. Look for the config item "clear_emulator_capabilities" in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf. Setting this to 0 would verify that's the problem (and not a real shared irq...i thought i saw sharing on /proc/interrupts though). > > http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg34338.html > http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&xhr=t&q=libvirt+CAP_SYS_RAWIO&cp=21&pf=p&sclient=psy&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=libvirt+CAP_SYS_RAWIO&pbx=1&fp=2d8e3f69fec095f4 > > "When I patch libvirt to not drop the capabilities, everything works > as expected." Well, that's a good point. We fixed that a while ago, but I'm not sure your kernel has that fix. 2.6.35.10-dmar (btw, random nitpick, dmar == intel dma remapping engine, aka vt-d not amd iommu ;) This was fixed in 2.6.36, commit: 48bb09e KVM: remove CAP_SYS_RAWIO requirement from kvm_vm_ioctl_assign_irq The last 2.6.35 stable release is 2.6.35.9 and does not have that fix. So unless your .10-dmar has it, you could patch it in. thanks, -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
