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).

Tried 5.3.7.arch1-1 on a Z390/9700k today with the lated -Syu pull. KVM/qemu Windows 10 guest with NVidia 2080Ti passthrough is running with some glitch and crashed the arch host within 60 minutes. Still investigating the cause. The last stable working version of linux-vfio for me has been 5.0.13-arch1-1 (f483bc1a95dc)

I will not update this package until I have made the necessary modifications to all patches.

Looks like the i915 vga patch is broken 5.3+, gonna have to be removed until someone produces a new modified patch to patch the patch

dszryan: put that in your makepkg.conf....................

dszryan commented on 2019-09-08 02:58 (UTC)

the build could do with: build() { cd $_srcname make -j $(($(cat /proc/cpuinfo | awk '/^processor/{print $3}' | wc -l) + 1)) bzImage modules }

to speed the build up, #jobs = #processors + 1

what do you think?

Just wanted to comment to thank ironicbadger and also confirm their findings I was having issues in particular with discord and FF14(FFXIV) crashing and losing sound randomly rolling back to 4.19-20 via LTS package appears to have fixed these issues.

ironicbadger commented on 2019-07-22 04:02 (UTC)

I was running into some issues with 5.2.1 kernel today in a Windows 10 guest where 3d apps (such as Firefox, Chrome and Fusion 360) would just randomly quit.

According to my research I found the following on the VFIO discord 

A new bug in kernel 5.2 is causing KMODE_EXPECTION_NOT_HANDLED and other anomalies for some people. A few folks reporting artifacting/crashing issues on 5.1 say that issue persists on 5.2 as well, but this is may be a different bug. Root cause of both issues remains unknown currently. Rollback to the last known good or LTS kernels.

I downgraded to 4.19.x via the linux-vfio-lts package and stability returned to my guest. Hope this helps someone out.

If this is a requirement for you, you will need to add this patch yourself when you build.

Any chance to add the Agesa Patch? https://clbin.com/VCiYJ

I am getting the following build error:

 Extension error:
Could not import extension kerneldoc (exception: cannot import name 
'AutodocReporter' from 'sphinx.ext.autodoc' (/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sphinx/ext/autodoc/__init__.py))

As the same here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-rt-bfq/

Following those patch instructions I deleted some lines in the PKGBUILD and I'm now compiling.
