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).

@slowbro how were you testing the package. Were you running it through a formal test suite of some sort or just seeing if passthrough was working?

slowbro commented on 2021-07-22 07:53 (UTC)

Hey all. I no longer have a machine that runs (or needs) this package, so I have no direct way to test it. Regardless, I will continue updating it. Please be sure to report any issues you run into.

Consider testing 5.13 ;D

I never actually played too much with github actions so I doubt I would be useful - I'm sorry ;/

Anyway - good idea! I'm not sure if it will be easy to test like that, but then someone will tell us here that it's broken ;V

Thank you - I don't have permission to do that, I don't think; however, since Arch is now using Github for their repo, I was considering using my Github account + GH Actions to so a similar thing. Admittedly, I am upgrading my PC very soon and likely will no longer need this package myself.. but I would like to continue to keep it available for others, as I know how helpful it can be.

I believe the default GH Actions disk space allowance well undershoots the size of the archlinux-linux repo, so I'll have to see about getting that working with a shallow clone. If you'd be willing to help, it would be appreciated! I was previously using this repository, and was planning on continuing there: https://github.com/slowbro/linux-vfio

Edit: by the way, I am in the process of building the latest package. I like to make sure it builds & boots before releasing it, so it will be ~20min.

Hey, I'm the guy flagging it out of date whole time.

Maybe you can just add me as co-maintainer, I'll update it instead of flagging and waiting ;)

I would be doing just dumb bumps for minor versions when new version of linux would become available in core repos.

slowbro commented on 2021-07-01 05:52 (UTC)

I'll get this updated ASAP, sorry! Been pulled in all directions lately.

Yup, official linux package seems to use github now: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages/linux/trunk/PKGBUILD

This is the repo it uses: https://github.com/archlinux/linux

It looks like this package does not build at the moment.

==> Retrieving sources... -> Cloning archlinux-linux git repo... Cloning into bare repository '/home/jpsutton/.cache/yay/linux-vfio/archlinux-linux'... fatal: repository 'https://git.archlinux.org/linux.git/' not found

I suspect it has something to do with the deprecation of git.archlinux.org...

I did a little more digging and it looks like the problem is not this package, but rather that the linux package might be broken in the core repo (opps). It looks like the Arch Devs are on it and there is a 5.11 version of the linux package in testing with a patch for a recent upgrade to Sphinx. My guess is once the new version hits core and this package is updated, everything will be fine.
