I'm not reading the same thing when looking at code in hvmloader. It
seems that hvmloader allocate some memory for the IGD opregion rather
than mapping it.


tools/firmware/hvmloader/pci.c:184
    if ( vendor_id == 0x8086 )
    {
        igd_opregion_pgbase = mem_hole_alloc(IGD_OPREGION_PAGES);
        /*
         * Write the the OpRegion offset to give the opregion
         * address to the device model. The device model will trap
         * and map the OpRegion at the give address.
         */
        pci_writel(vga_devfn, PCI_INTEL_OPREGION,
                   igd_opregion_pgbase << PAGE_SHIFT);
    }

I think this write would go through QEMU, does it do something with it?
(I kind of replying to this question at the end of the mail.)

Is this code in hvmloader actually run in your case?

qemu-traditional is a bit old... What is the bug in QEMU? Do you have a
link to a patch/mail?

Here, you seems to add permission to an address that is read from the
pci config space of the device, but as I've pointed above hvmloader
seems to overwrite this address. It this call to
xc_domain_iomem_permission() does actually anything useful?
Or is it by luck that the address returned by
sysfs_dev_get_igd_opregion() happened to be the address that hvmloader
is going to write?

Or maybe hvmloader doesn't actually do anything?


Some more though on that, looking at QEMU, it seems that there's already
a call to xc_domain_iomem_permission(), in igd_write_opregion(). So
adding one in libxl would seems redundant, or maybe it the one for the
device model's domain that's needed  (named 'stubdom_domid' here)?

Thanks,
