[5700XT] Use AMD GPU on Host and VM -> Rebind drivers to vfio and back to amdgpu

Im trying this now for quite a long time, first with an nvidia gpu but now i switched to a R9 380 for my displays and a 5700XT to pass to the vm. I want to use the 5700XT on the host too (manjaro).

I got the DRI setup working, my gpu doesnt show in xrandr --listproviders, and i can run applications on it. So far so good.

Now im trying to rebind the gpu to the vfio driver, which is not working yet. This is what i tried:
Running start.sh:

#!/bin/bash
modprobe vfio-pci
modprobe vfio_iommu_type1
modprobe vfio
echo "1002 ab38" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id
echo "0000:20:00.0" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:20:00.0/driver/unbind
echo "0000:20:00.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/bind
echo "1002 ab38" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/remove_id

gives these errors:

start.sh: line 6: /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:20:00.0/driver/unbind: No such file or directory

start.sh: line 7: echo: write error: No such device

lscpi -nnk: (after running the script)

Which logs could i check? Any ideas how to bind the gpu to vfio and back to amdgpu?

From what I know reset is still not properly working on anything AMD, so from my understanding that is currently not possible.

@gnif worked on the reset fix for Vega. I haven’t followed it that much, but I think he got it working. I’m not sure if he’s working on the RX as well though (I think he was still crowdsourcing for GPUs to work on).

@peterge firstly I have edited your post to fix the formatting, in future please create pre-formatted blocks by using three backticks like this.

As for unbinding, the amdgpu driver does not support it at all, your milage may vary depending on kernel version and GPU. It works but with complaints on the Vega 10 series (Vega 56/64) most of the time, but can cause a kernel panic.

This is useless if you’re binding using the bus IDs, it will just confuse things.

No driver has been loaded for the GPU, there is nothing to unbind. In fact, the driver directory wont even exist if there is no loaded kernel module.

This is likely caused by you mixing device ids and bus id bind methods.
