 |
|
Hi Guys,
Having seen that installing KVM with gpu passthrough in Gentoo may prove to be a major headache
here are a few very easy steps to get you going.
I will assume you have hyprid graphics and a SPARE gpu to assign to your guests.
Here we go:
1.Prepare the necessary USE for your packages:
| Code: |
echo "app-emulation/qemu spice usb usbredir" >> /etc/portage/package.use/qemu
echo "app-emulation/libvirt virt-network" >> /etc/portage/package.use/libvirt
|
2.Install necessary packages:
| Code: |
emerge -av qemu libvirt virt-manager edk2-ovmf dnsmasq
|
3.Get the ids of your video card in my case nvidia
| Code: |
lspci -nn | grep -i nvidia
|
Probably there will be a video controller and an audio controller.
Get their ids in the form xxxx:xxxx and xxxx:xxxx
run
| Code: |
echo "options vfio-pci ids=10de:1398,10de:0fbc" >> /etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf
|
substituting the above with your own.
Open /etc/default/grub and add
| Code: |
intel_iommu=on iommu=pt
|
in kernel command line.
If you have amd GPU substitute "intel" with "amd"
4.Make sure kernel space supports full vfio iommu functionality
You need the following kernel .config FLAGS
| Code: |
CONFIG_KVM_VFIO=y
CONFIG_VFIO_IOMMU_TYPE1=m
CONFIG_VFIO_VIRQFD=m
CONFIG_VFIO=m
CONFIG_VFIO_NOIOMMU=y
CONFIG_VFIO_PCI=m
CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_VGA=y
CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_MMAP=y
CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_INTX=y
CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_IGD=y
CONFIG_VFIO_MDEV=m
CONFIG_VFIO_MDEV_DEVICE=m
# CONFIG_SAMPLE_VFIO_MDEV_MTTY is not set
# CONFIG_SAMPLE_VFIO_MDEV_MDPY is not set
# CONFIG_SAMPLE_VFIO_MDEV_MDPY_FB is not set
# CONFIG_SAMPLE_VFIO_MDEV_MBOCHS is not set
CONFIG_IRQ_MSI_IOMMU=y
CONFIG_GART_IOMMU=y
CONFIG_VFIO_IOMMU_TYPE1=m
CONFIG_VFIO_NOIOMMU=y
CONFIG_IOMMU_IOVA=y
CONFIG_IOMMU_API=y
CONFIG_IOMMU_SUPPORT=y
# Generic IOMMU Pagetable Support
# end of Generic IOMMU Pagetable Support
# CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUGFS is not set
# CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH is not set
CONFIG_IOMMU_DMA=y
CONFIG_AMD_IOMMU=y
CONFIG_AMD_IOMMU_V2=m
CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU=y
CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_SVM=y
# CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON is not set
CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_FLOPPY_WA=y
# CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_SCALABLE_MODE_DEFAULT_ON is not set
CONFIG_HYPERV_IOMMU=y
CONFIG_IOMMU_HELPER=y
# CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG is not set
|
If you one ot the people that want minimal kernel config and you know what you are doing then feel free to modify this list on your own risk.
5.You need super perfect and FULL iptables functionality in your kernel.
I have found these flags to work nicely

Again if you know what you are doing please modify them at your own risk.
6.If you have already installed drivers for your SPARE GPU uninstall them and delete them also from
/lib/modules/<kernel-version>video/*
7.RECOMPILE kernel if you made changes to the .config flags
8.Update initramfs and grub.In my case
| Code: |
dracut --force
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
|
In your case adapt accordingly.
9.Reboot
10.add your user to the libvirt group and start and enable "libvirtd" and DEFAULT NAT Network
| Code: |
usermod -aG libvirt $USER
rc-service libvirtd start
rc-update add libvirtd default
virsh net-start default
virsh net-autostart default
|
11.Fire Virt-Manager either from terminal or from desktop icon as an ordinary user.
12.Create an UEFI VM
13.Select VM Details->Add Hardware-> PCI Host Device-><your-GPU>
14.Start VM.
Thats it really.
Nothing exceedingly complicated....
