Cheers for that. Added it to my config and set hugespaces via kernel

Are those the core and thread siblings on that CPU?

For a 10 core CPU I reserve a few for VMs like:

nohz_full=2-9,12-19 rcu_nocbs=2-9,12-19 isolcpus=2-7,12-17

kvm_amd.avic=1 hugepages=12188

Does the CPU support 1G pages? With 1G pages I reserve 32G for VMs like:

default_hugepagesz=1G hugepagesz=1G hugepages=32 transparent_hugepage=never

I also set iothreads, but can't seem to change my disks from sata to
virtio. Whenever I try I get a windows bluescreen on boot.

I'm not seeing any interrupts for when the GPU is in use:

I don't have a Ryzen CPU so not sure about this.

I think someone just said yesterday on this list, in response to my question about it, that they had them with Ryzen, if I read it right.

Might perform better.

Also, yes Hugepages might be helpful too.

Also, would you mind observing whether interrupts are posted when the GPU
is in use in pass-through?

watch -d cat /proc/interrupts

Look at the bottom for PIN (Posted-interrupt notification event) and PIW
(Posted-interrupt wakeup event).

Thanks!

Finally gotten to the bottom of this, this the help of your XML file I'm able to run with a Q35 setup, I'm also able to just passthrough the CPU
features. Thanks.

I discovered the issue with the guest crashing was actually due to my
graphics card overheating! Noticed that it was hitting 99C and then guest
would crash.

The setup is pretty sweet now, I just want to change my drives from sata to virtio which I believe will be quicker. Then also investigate HugePages

Here's my Kernel params:

I am using a ROM file which I dumped myself using GPU-Z, this was the only was I could get a display as well. With Q35 I do see TianoCore and then the Windows10 logo but the guest crashes straight after that. I may have to try and do a fresh install with Q35 to see if I can get further.
Thanks for the XML, I'll try again tonight and report back.

I didn't have good luck with Windows on BIOS or with Windows on i440. I pretty much had to use Q35 + OVMF. You said you had trouble getting
Windows to boot with Q35 + OVMF, did you at least get the TianoCore
logo to come up on your screen?  If not you may need to dump and
specify the ROM file for your video card.  For me OVMF would hang
unless I did this. Note that I'm using Q35 + OVMF, Opteron_G3 as CPU,
specifying a ROM for the GPU, and running kvm_amd.avic=1.

Thanks for the link. I've tried a number of things but still no further

I've tried the following one-by-one

kvm_amd.avic=1
Properly isolated CPUs on host so they are exclusive to guest -
isolcpus=0-7
Changed CPU host-passthrough to Opteron_G5 instead
Changed CPU to althon
Changed CPU to qemu64
kvm-amd.npt=0
iommu=pt
Disabled SMT in BIOS

When I have host-passthrough, Opteron_G5, althon or qemu64 CPUs
configured I
see a lot of these stack traces just appearing frequently and not just
when
the guest crashes, I see nothing when the guest crashes

I still haven't tried SeaBIOS yet, I'm still running 'pc-i440fx-2.1'
with
OVMF, not Q35. I couldn't get Windows to boot with Q35.

I also noticed something really odd in the fact that after the guest
crashes
I see random pictures on the TV, which I assume are coming from Arch -
I see
things like a woman at a football stadium and waterfalls - I'm not sure
if
this would be expected if the card is assigned to vfio-pci?

@Steven Walter, can you paste a full copy of your libvirt XML file
please?

I got a similar (though multi-GPU) setup working, which I wrote up

One thing that may help you is to enable AVIC (kvm_amd.avic=1). What
I saw without AVIC was that things would work briefly (only a few
seconds for me) before interrupts would stop getting delivered.
Sounds like things are working better for you without AVIC than they did for me, but perhaps the extra improvement in IRQ latency would fix
the hangs you get during intensive graphics operations.

I've managed to get pci-e passthough working on a gigabyte gaming 3

and Ryzen 1700, no ACS patch, using only 1 GPU - AMD r9 290. However
I'm
facing a problem with the whole KVM setup and not sure what it's
related
to.
For the Windows10 guest with the GPU passed through it crashes (guest
only,
host is fine) whenever I try anything graphics intensive, for example
running Witcher3. Normal desktop is fine.
Also my Linux guests are acting odd when I try to SSH to them, I
notice
that
the SSH terminals just stop working randomly. And then there's the
issue
with very slow network throughout to both VMs. I have no idea what's
going
on. It used to work fine with my Intel setup. There's no logs in
dmesg
to
show a problem either.

I'm going to try Seabios instead of OVMF to see if I can stop the
crashing.

Any one having similar issues or anyone can advise?
