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 OT/ RTX4000 user here , but big thanks for your constant effort !!! :-) Happy holidays to both of you that help us to use this kernel ;-) /OT

I have the patch & package prepped for 5.10.2 - waiting for it to come out of testing. There were significant changes to i915 in 5.10 - is anyone running 5.10.x already, on i915, and willing to test the linux-vfio package before 5.10 hits core?

5.9.11 has fixed the IOMMU groups problem for me, but I have had to include a patch to deal with an AMD reset bug.

peterh commented on 2020-12-04 07:11 (UTC)

5.9.11 fixed the problem also for me. Thanks.

spamad commented on 2020-12-02 19:17 (UTC)

I was having the same issue as peterh where the IOMMU grouping stopped working at 5.9.1 (I7-3770, Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H). After compiling 5.9.11, the issue is now resolved.

An easy way to import the required gpg keys, if anyone is having problems with it as I was.

curl https://keybase.io/heftig/pgp_keys.asc | gpg --import

markzz commented on 2020-10-27 04:48 (UTC)

I can confirm there's an issue with it. I cannot get to investigating until this weekend though.

peterh commented on 2020-10-22 18:12 (UTC)

The IOMMU groups on my system (Z77, I7-3770) are broken if I'm using version linux-vfio 5.9.1.arch1-1. Any idea ?

5.9.1 is up now, but note that nvidia is only partially supported on 5.9.x; nvidia expects to have an update ready in november. this seems to only affect cuda and opencl.

https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/nvidia-driver-not-yet-supported-for-linux-kernel-5-9/157263

there are supposedly some patches available that workaround this issue; you'll need to find/apply those yourself if you need cuda/opencl on 5.9.x.
