Qemu kvm GPU passtrough not working

Software & Operating Systems VFIO

Hello i am trying to do GPU passtrough to a windows VM with a seccond GPU RX 570. my main GPU is a gtx 1080TI

my idea is to have a windows VM with some games that just dont work on linux like destiny 2 and some others, at least thats the plan.

and just use steamlink to stream the games back to the host os

how ever wen i start making the VM in virt manager i get to the point of begin instalation and then i get a bunch of errors

I followd this tutorial for the GPU passtrough: (not allowd to post links?)

The VFIO driver looks good for the RX 570, that part is correct.

That group 1 is your problem. You have to pass through every device in an IOMMU group to the same VM, or it will not work. The exception is the PCI bridges.

What you need to split the RX 570 02:00.0 and 02:00.1 into their own group, not lumped in with your NVME and 1080 ti.

You might be able to do this by playing around with settings in your motherboard’s UEFI, or by updating your UEFI. However, it is likely that you will need to patch your Linux kernel with the ACS patch to split up the groups.

i have looked in my bios before for anything that resembles IOMMU but i have never found a option for it or any settings with it…

how would i go about doing that patch? like i dont want to mess up kernel things by excedent (i have multiple kernals installed and also run tmeshift but still)

6

It depends on your distro.

i am running manjaro linux
i did find a post on reddit that says the following for manajro linux
but i think it is outdated as i am getting

archlinux-linux git repo … FAILED (unknown public key A5E9288C4FA415FA)

and the post is about a year old

1. cd
2. mkdir build
3. cd build
4. git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/linux-vfio.git
5. cd linux-vfio
6. sudo nano /etc/makepkg.conf
7. locate #MAKEFLAGS=, change to MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)"
8. CTRL+O, CTRL+X
9. makepkg -si
10. sudo nano /etc/default/grub
11. add pcie_acs_override=downstream same place as enabling iommu GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=
12. CTRL+O, CTRL+X
13. sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
14. reboot
8

That looks approximately correct. Try running gpg --recv-key A5E9288C4FA415FA and retrying.

Here is more info about the process-
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF#Bypassing_the_IOMMU_groups_(ACS_override_patch)
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-vfio/

makepkg -si is now working tthank you.

i am still not sure how to sperate the 02:00.0 and 02:00.1

but i htink this will become clear once i get there?

10

Take a look at the arch wiki page in my last post. TLDR is put pcie_acs_override=downstream as a boot parameter and reboot.

11

i did evrything and now i am getting the mssage

FAILED to start light display manager

wen ever i try to start my PC

i also removed the line
pcie_acs_override=downstream

again and the same thing now happens…

12

Try booting with the non-patched kernel.

I suspect that the Nvidia driver failed to build for the new patched kernel. See if sudo dkms autoinstall works or fails.

13

other kernal lets me boot back in to manjaro
i did sudo dkms autoinstall wen booting the broken kernal by doing ctrl+f6 loging in and runing that command. it didnt show any message no error or no succes… it did not fix it how ever (also i am runing non-free drivers for the GTX1080TI if this helps)

15

Yah, sounds like the driver dkms module did not build and install correctly for the vfio kernel.

16

is there a way to to fix this wen loading up the vfio kernal?

17

There could be a number of issues.

You need-
Linux kernel
Linux kernel headers for that exact kernel version
Nvidia drivers compatible with that exact kernel version

Then it should work.

18

alride well i dont know what Kernel headers are so i have to look that up.

and i dont know how to start about fixing the kernal also the nvidia driver.
is there a easy way to remove the non-free driver and install the open source one? maiby that could do the trick?

19

Other alternative is try moving GPUs into other slots and see if one of them is in an isolated IOMMU group, this will be board and oftentimes bios dependent

They have a page about drivers here-
https://wiki.manjaro.org/Configure_Graphics_Cards

That only works if you are running on a HEDT socket, ie TR4, LGA-2011(v3), LGA 2066. The smaller sockets (AM4, LGA 115x) have only enough lanes for two slots that go directly to the CPU, so you are stuck.

21

i installed the correct kernal headers and the nonfree nvidia 440xx drivers but i still get the same error message…
