translation units with differing capabilities From the author via Bugzilla: --- When an attempt is made to passthrough a PCI device to a bhyve VM (causing initialisation of IOMMU) on certain Intel chipsets using VT-d the PCI bus stops working entirely. This issue occurs on the E3-1275 v5 processor on C236 chipset and has also been encountered by others on the forums with different hardware in the Skylake series. The chipset has two VT-d translation units. The issue is caused by an attempt to use the VT-d device-IOTLB capability that is supported by only the first unit for devices attached to the second unit which lacks that capability. Only the capabilities of the first unit are checked and are assumed to be the same for all units. Attached is a patch to rectify this issue by determining which unit is responsible for the device being added to a domain and then checking that unit's device-IOTLB capability. In addition to this a few fixes have been made to other instances where the first unit's capabilities are assumed for all units for domains they share. In these cases a mutual set of capabilities is determined. The patch should hopefully fix any bugs for current/future hardware with multiple translation units supporting different capabilities. A description is on the forums at https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/pci-passthrough-bhyve-usb-xhci.65235 The thread includes observations by other users of the bug occurring, and description as well as confirmation of the fix. I'd also like to thank Ordoban for their help. --- Personally tested on a Skylake laptop, Skylake Xeon server, and a Xeon-D-1541, passing through XHCI and NVMe functions. Passthru is hit-or-miss to the point of being unusable without this patch. PR: 229852 Submitted by: callum@aitchison.org MFC after: 1 week |
