Re: [vfio-users] GPU driver crashes when running a second VM if either VM has a virtual disk stored on physical media other than the root disk. Tested on three X58 chipset MBs

Zir, Thanks for the response. I really thought that would work, as the problem does seem to follow the chipset but alas no change. I added intremap=off per your suggestion and found the nox2apic, which I presume will enable xAPIC instead. I searched for information about setting a bit to do

The Nehalem era X58, 5500 and 5520 Chipsets had a notoriously broken Interrupt Remapping implementation: https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX136517 (Love that symptoms list) https://www.netiq.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7014344

Thanks for the reply. There is no problem with USB on the host or guest when this happens, nor are there any errors on the console or in the logs. One of the first things I did was test without USB passthrough, and there was no difference. Furthermore, I've tested many kernels outside of

Oh I saw your other thread but didn't see this one where you show usb passthrough... I've seen usb passthrough fail with an i7 5820K and X99 chipset on some kernels between 4.9 and 4.13 (but 4.13.11 works fine). ... 4.10 is in that range, but I didn't test that one on the X99. And I don't have

To put it another way, running concurrent VMs when at least one VM has an assigned GPU will always result in a GPU driver crash, unless all VMs and all their attached media reside on the root disk. I've been able to replicate this consistently across three motherboards, all with the X58
