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).

Not until it is released in [core].

thanks for the hard work any chances to get updates based on 4.13?

markzz commented on 2017-07-30 02:55 (UTC)

I updated to 4.12.3-1 and had to redo the patches. As always, let me know if this breaks your system (not meaning that third party modules don't work).

markzz commented on 2017-07-18 16:55 (UTC)

Did you verify that the dkms hook built it for this kernel?

Does this require me to not be using the nvidia proprietary drivers? Whenever I use this kernel it stops during the boot up process, also when compiling the kernel it mentions missing some nvidia modules. I am using 1080 ti cards. edit: Well I installed the nvidia-dkms package and the LTS verison boots. This one still doesn't but for now I can play around with the LTS verison.

For me linux-vfio 4.11.8-1 not work with intel VGA at host. I roll back to 4.11.6-2-vfio version.

markzz commented on 2017-06-23 00:06 (UTC)

Sorry about the lack of updates, I've been enormously busy lately. I will try really really hard to get the patches updated to 4.11.x this weekend, but will get them done by the end of next week for sure.

sheenik: Are you using an Intel integrated video for your host? If not, then the arbitration patch does nothing for you. I can also say that this package does work as expected on my system, but I do not use an Intel video device.

Arbitration patch (I suppose) seems not to work on 4.10-11 kernel. VM starts, but passed through GPU never turns on, and VM will remain stuck in this state. Reverting to a 4.8 vfio kernel resolves the issue.
