VGAPassthrough: success in host F19, guest Windows7
GPUPassthrough: success in Fedora-Rawhide
HOST:
CPU: Core i5 3470
GPU: ATI HD Radeon 7850
OS: Fedora-Rawhide
QEMU: qemu-1.5.1
So, here’s the steps
0. Enable the mainboard VxT, iommu and alter the video device to Intel HD
1. See what we have got now.
We have output below
| ... 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Pitcairn PRO [Radeon HD 7850] 01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde/Pitcairn HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 7700/7800 Series] ... |
| ... 01:00.0 0300: 1002:6819 01:00.1 0403: 1002:aab0 ... |
You can see the pci bus and vendor.
2. Modify the kernel parameter, morprobe.d and libvirt.conf
Add follow parameters to grub.conf
| intel_iommu=on pci-stub.ids=1002:6819,1002:aab0,vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 |
NOTE: If you have got an AMD cpu, please replace “interl_iommu=on” with “iommu=pt iommu=1”
Add modprobe.conf to /etc/modprobe.d/ with this content:
| blacklist radeon options kvm ignore_msrs=1 options kvm allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 options kvm-amd npt=0 options kvm_intel emulate_invalid_guest_state=0 options vfio_iommu_type1 allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 |
change the following options in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf:
| # The user ID for QEMU processes run by the system instance. user = "root" # The group ID for QEMU processes run by the system instance. group = "root" ...... # If clear_emulator_capabilities is enabled, libvirt will drop all # privileged capabilities of the QEmu/KVM emulator. This is enabled by # default. # # Warning: Disabling this option means that a compromised guest can # exploit the privileges and possibly do damage to the host. # clear_emulator_capabilities = 0 |
Reboot.
3. Using scripts below
Version 1: VFIO-Passthrough
File: vfio-bind
| #!/bin/bash modprobe vfio-pci for var in "$@"; do for dev in $(ls /sys/bus/pci/devices/$var/iommu_group/devices); do vendor=$(cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/$dev/vendor) device=$(cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/$dev/device) if [ -e /sys/bus/pci/devices/$dev/driver ]; then echo $dev > /sys/bus/pci/devices/$dev/driver/unbind fi echo $vendor $device > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id done done |
Bind the device
