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).

dominicm: Some aur helpers seem to not be able to handle split packages. When it encounters them, they seem to add the packages that are produced multiple times which causes pacman to error. You can see this first hand if you run makepkg on a PKGBUILD then do `pacman -U pkg-ver.pkg.tar.xz pkg-ver.pkg.tar.xz`. Yaourt doesn't do this, but it has an issue that it will build this PKGBUILD three times if you do a `yaourt -Sua` which could get annoying very quickly.

@soul Thanks, yaourt does indeed work though it's annoying to have to use it just for the kernel. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this issue.

@dominicm, I had that same issue several times with packer and pacaur but using yaourt -S linux-vfio works as intended. This may not be the solution you want but it's something.

I am getting duplicate target error after which the kernel is downloaded again and compiled and so on and on. This has happened with the last 5+ releases. Have to install manually which is annoying with frequent updates. Using packer -S to install. Anyone else having this problem? root Password: loading packages... error: 'linux-vfio-headers-4.8.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz': duplicate target error: 'linux-vfio-docs-4.8.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz': duplicate target

I have updated the package on my repository to 4.8.4. If you want to build this yourself, since the patches needed to be redone in order for it to work, I have uploaded a source package for anyone to use [1]. Feel free to use either and I will continue to keep both updated if this PKGBUILD falls behind again. [1] http://arch.markzz.com/linux-vfio-4.8.4-1.src.tar.gz

@Myd Sorry for late reply, That's what I have too and nothing else as far as vfio config. It's probably due to different hardware, I am using Asus Z170 Deluxe with 6700k cpu.

Myd commented on 2016-10-05 15:46 (UTC)

@dominicm what kernel params are you using? I have: "intel_iommu=on pcie_acs_override=downstream" and each of my devices is in separate IOMMU group

dominicm commented on 2016-09-30 15:22 (UTC)

@Myd Updating to 4.7.4-1 seems to have fixed it, I don't think I changed anything else. The group is still not clean as I have 3 other devices in it but I am able to passthrough anyways. IOMMU worked just fine before it was just this one device.

Myd commented on 2016-09-29 19:37 (UTC)

@dominicm I just updated to 4.7.4 and IOMMU groups look fine, you can check with "dmesg | grep -i IOMMU"

dominicm commented on 2016-09-04 17:57 (UTC)

Has anyone had issues with pci grouping after updating to 4.7.2 (from 4.5)? An integrated audio card can no longer be passed through due to the IOMMU group being nonviable where it was before. Is there a way to verify acs patch is actually active/applied?
