Leaving eclairvoyant's comment pinned because it contains some useful information.
Patch policy is different, but similar.
- Primary purpose of this package are the ACS override and i915 VGA arbiter patches.
- Upstream Arch patches will be applied to maintain parity with the standard kernel.
- No other patches will be added.
Package does have options that can be changed, like building with clang or disabling Arch patches.
- Defaults will match Arch packages, except when incompatible with this package's primary patches.
- Options are subject to change. Read PKGBUILD for details.
Avoid commenting and flagging at the same time for the same issue.
- Flag for common issues with standard solutions, like new releases, key changes, etc.
- Comment for issues requiring explanation or debugging.
  - Use a pastebin for blocks of text more than a few lines.

This package exists for the specific purpose of adding ported patches based on those originally created by Alex Williamson for:

Bypassing the default IOMMU grouping by overriding PCIe ACS support, and
Enabling VGA arbitration support on Intel iGPUs.

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).

Thanks slowbro for providing the updated version. much appreciated.

markzz commented on 2020-02-27 01:59 (UTC)

When I get back to Michigan this weekend, I'll be making a build for my repository as well.

Like markzz was, I'm providing updated builds in my (unofficial) user repository, if you don't want to build this yourself.

Thanks, markzz. I just published a better version of 5.5.5 now, with updated kernel config - so if you already installed 5.5.5.arch1-1 from below, be sure to update to 5.5.5.arch1-2 from aur. Same kernel, just matches the 'linux' package's config.

I'll keep my eye out for upstream updates and try to get them released ASAP.

markzz commented on 2020-02-22 14:53 (UTC)

I have just added slowbro as a co-maintainer to assist me in keeping this up to date when I get into busy seasons like I have been trying to crawl out of. Sorry about the lack of updates and hopefully the two of us can keep this up to date more effectively than I can alone.

slowbro commented on 2020-02-22 08:23 (UTC)

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:

slowbro commented on 2020-02-17 01:48 (UTC) (edited on 2020-02-17 02:08 (UTC) by slowbro)

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.

giostark commented on 2020-02-16 22:50 (UTC)

TNKS slowbro for the instructions. It worked as you stated. ;-) The kernel boot fine and my VM for work is finally on again.

slowbro commented on 2020-02-16 22:43 (UTC) (edited on 2020-02-16 22:49 (UTC) by slowbro)

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.
