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).

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.

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.

Thanks for you time and work... :-)

I receive this : ==> Validating source files with sha256sums... archlinux-linux ... Skipped config ... Passed add-acs-overrides.patch ... FAILED i915-vga-arbiter.patch ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

Tried to delete the files and re-download , happen the same.

Alright, everything seems to be working on 5.5.3.arch1. I had switched to .3 because I noticed yesterday .4 was still in -testing.. but now .4 is out. This should just work with 5.5.4, you'll just need to change the PKGBUILD pkgver line. The patches apply cleanly. I'm compiling it now for 5.5.4 and will report back with results.

For now, enjoy 5.5.3.arch1: https://github.com/slowbro/linux-vfio/tree/v5.5.3-arch1

(Note: I make no guarantees, minimally tested,etc. My IOMMU groups are identical with this as they were with 5.3.7-arch1. I was able to boot my windows VM and it worked.)

alegru commented on 2020-02-16 13:57 (UTC)

I backported the changes to the linux-vfio-lts package, if someone wants to use it in the mean time

slowbro commented on 2020-02-15 20:31 (UTC)

I've been working on a PKGBUILD based on 5.5.4-arch1. I got the patches re-worked for all the recent intel_vga changes, and things seem good, I'll update later this weekend with a yay/nay.
