This package exists for the specific purpose of adding ported patches based on those originally created by Alex Williamson for:

Arbitrary patches will not be added.

Refer to the wiki on PCI passthrough and this blog post on IOMMU groups for risks/caveats before using this package.

Regular AUR etiquette applies as well (knowledge of makepkg and searching the wiki/Arch forums is expected, and AUR helpers or Arch-based distros that are not Arch Linux are unsupported).

When I get back to Michigan this weekend, I'll be making a build for my repository as well.

Like markzz was, I'm providing updated builds in my (unofficial) user repository, if you don't want to build this yourself.

Thanks, markzz. I just published a better version of 5.5.5 now, with updated kernel config - so if you already installed 5.5.5.arch1-1 from below, be sure to update to 5.5.5.arch1-2 from aur. Same kernel, just matches the 'linux' package's config.

I'll keep my eye out for upstream updates and try to get them released ASAP.

I have just added slowbro as a co-maintainer to assist me in keeping this up to date when I get into busy seasons like I have been trying to crawl out of. Sorry about the lack of updates and hopefully the two of us can keep this up to date more effectively than I can alone.

slowbro commented on 2020-02-22 08:23 (UTC)

Patches applied as-is for 5.5.5; untested.. https://github.com/slowbro/linux-vfio/tree/v5.5.5-arch1

@slowbro I used your patches to update linux-zen-vfio :thumbsup:

Here's the two latest versions. 5.5.4 seems to work just as well as 5.5.3.

5.5.4.arch1-1: https://github.com/slowbro/linux-vfio/tree/v5.5.4-arch1

5.5.3.arch1-1: https://github.com/slowbro/linux-vfio/tree/v5.5.3-arch1

@glostark happy to help.

TNKS slowbro for the instructions. It worked as you stated. ;-) The kernel boot fine and my VM for work is finally on again.

slowbro commented on 2020-02-16 22:43 (UTC) (edited on 2020-02-16 22:49 (UTC) by slowbro)

Okay, the sha256sums are fixed: https://github.com/slowbro/linux-vfio/tree/v5.5.3-arch1

I just git push --force'd because I am a bad person.

BTW: 5.5.4.arch1 built successfully, I'm testing a full makepkg now.

slowbro commented on 2020-02-16 21:56 (UTC)

Ah, whoops.. I had reorganized the patches to make the diffs smaller and forgot to re-hash. I'll fix that asap, but in the mean time you can update the sha256sum lines in the PKGBUILD. Just run 'sha256sum *.patch' to get the new ones. The sum array has the hashes in the same order as the sources array.
