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).

I strongly suggest rebuilding this after updating openssl to 3.0.7 (or better, building in a clean chroot which has an updated openssl), as this may break things otherwise.

Same problem here - I can't get 6.0.5 to boot, it hangs as soon as it gets to the framebuffer.

TieMajor commented on 2022-10-17 06:22 (UTC)

6.0.2.arch1-1 is causing weird issues for me. The initial framebuffer seems to be broken (I am not using quiet), but when the xorg or wayland session starts it works fine. Trying to troubleshoot this I only found out it happens when I specify ids with vfio-pci.ids as a kernel parameter.

The symtoms are extremly similar to this post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=280512.

The package has been out of date for a while now. Is the package definitely stopped? Can we expect an update soon? Is there any other solution than to do all the hand :( In any case, thank you for your time and skills.

Has anyone tried the Manjaro kernel with the ACS patch on Arch Linux? (linux-acs-manjaro)

giostark commented on 2022-06-05 00:58 (UTC)

Maybe a tip for other noobs like me. Now the system update work with the gcc 12.1. Installing the pre-compiled kernel (done with gcc 11.2) or via helper (yay always search for gcc 11.2) result in error with the latest nvidia modules (that use the gcc 12.1). Solutions: 1) downgrade the gcc to the 11.2 (bleah solution) 2) (better solution) compile the kernel from the source without helpers using: makepkg -Crso Then: makepkg -ers Then: sudo pacman -U (3 packs generated before) Here the topic of the issue: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2039309#p2039309

pssst, this version is 2 patches old now

HI, I'm unable to completely update my Manjaro for two update cycles now. These three are the last stragglers: linux-vfio, linux-vfio-docs, linux-vfio-headers.

This is all I get from pacman (gui) before update terminates:


  Preparing...
  Cloning linux-vfio build files...
  Generating linux-vfio-docs information...
  Failed to prepare transaction:
  Failed to generate linux-vfio-docs information

Any advice?

Hello, I've noticed that this has been out of date for a while - I've updated the package to sync with the latest Arch vanilla kernel.

The ACS patch was successfully tested on a Gigabyte X570-UD, by passing through a chipset USB controller.

The i915 patch needed minor refactoring to build on 5.14, however I don't have any Intel hardware, so I am unable to test this patch.

Here's the link to my tree for 5.14.2-arch1-2: https://github.com/hurrian/linux-vfio/tree/5.14.2-arch1-2-vfio . I've also submitted this as a PR to @slowbro's repository.

Edit: The update to 5.14.2 has been merged.
