Re: [vfio-users] intel skylake passthrough

Hi Nicolas, Would you be able to send the full IOMMU groups tree for both NUCs? It's nice to see for the record. I was looking at using a Broadwell or Haswell one myself. Skylake was already out of real consideration for me as I was assuming there would be the same lack of isolation as your're

Perhaps this is the answer: According to their data sheets (volume 2) both Xeon D and E5 v4 have posted_interrupts_support in vtd[0:1]_cap. E5 v3 does not. On 12 Apr 2016, at 21:51, globalgorri...@fastmail.fm wrote: Hello, Are there any differences between posted interrupt support in the

Hello, Are there any differences between posted interrupt support in the Xeon E5 v3, v4, and Xeon D? The latter two are Broadwell, but posted (external) interrupts are touted with E5 v4 while (I think) VT-d posted interrupts are already available in E5 v3. Thanks

Even while I use SR-IOV interfaces passed through, I still find openvswitch very useful. In your scenario I might just use openvswitch and bind all the NICs. Perhaps use DPDK if you're primarily doing networking with the device. Also CoreOS might be nice if again you're building a dedicated

[vfio-users] BIOS memory mapping or chipset issue with MMIO prevents IGD pass-through in legacy mode?

2016-07-27 Thread globalgorrilla
Hello, Do you reckon this is what some bugzilla's find to be a motherboard memory mapping issue or a chipset issue? Any ideas on working around it besides opting the IGD out of MMIO? Doing that prevents it from being used with vfio-pci and qemu. --- i7-4790k, ASUS Z97-WS (BIOS 2403), kernel

And done. I just changed the machine type to the Q35 most recent available for me: pc-q35-2.8 The default PCIE layout worked. Up and running with Wayland on the R9 290. Thank you Alex! I hope someone else gets to enjoy a similar setup too! On 24 Oct 2016, at 10:43, Alex Williamson wrote:
