From ef5dd8ec88ac11e8e353164407d55b73c988b369 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse dwmw@amazon.co.uk Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2023 17:15:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] hvc/xen: fix event channel handling for secondary consoles MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The xencons_connect_backend() function allocates a local interdomain event channel with xenbus_alloc_evtchn(), then calls bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irq_lateeoi() to bind to that port# on the *remote* domain.
That doesn't work very well:
(qemu) device_add xen-console,id=con1,chardev=pty0 [ 44.323872] xenconsole console-1: 2 xenbus_dev_probe on device/console/1 [ 44.323995] xenconsole: probe of console-1 failed with error -2
Fix it to use bind_evtchn_to_irq_lateeoi(), which does the right thing by just binding that *local* event channel to an irq. The backend will do the interdomain binding.
This didn't affect the primary console because the setup for that is special — the toolstack allocates the guest event channel and the guest discovers it with HVMOP_get_param.
