[Bug 1851972] Re: pc-q35-4.1 and AMD Navi 5700/XT incompatible

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Paolo Bonzini commented on IRC: AMD avic requires kernel_irqchip=split.

Can you try using it? (released QEMU uses -machine
...,kernel_irqchip=split, git QEMU expects -accel kernel_irqchip=split).

Title:
  pc-q35-4.1 and AMD Navi 5700/XT incompatible

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I am not sure if this qualifies as a "bug"; it is be more of an
  unknown issue with default settings. However, since the default value
  of q35 default_kernel_irqchip_split was changed seemingly due to
  similar user feedback, I thought this was important to share..

  AMD Navi 5700/XT vfio-pci passthrough seems incompatible with
  one/multiple settings in pc-q35-3.1 and higher. The workaround for me
  is that pc-q35-3.0 still works fine passing through the GPU and
  official drivers can load/install fine.

  The default/generic GPU drivers in a Fedora 30 or Windows 1903 guest
  do work; the monitor displays the desktop in a 800x600 resolution and
  things are rendered fine.. so the basic functionality of the card
  seems fine with pc-q35-4.1.

  But attempting to use the official open source AMD driver with the
  card resulted in a hung kernel for the Fedora 30 guest.. and a BSOD on
  the Windows 1903 guest immediately during driver install.

  I do not see any errors in Qemu command output.. did not investigate
  other logs or KVM etc, because I am not sure what to look for or how
  to go about it. Also not sure which combination of the latest q35
  default settings are valid combinations to try either, because it
  seems that multiple things have changed related to pcie-root-port
  defaults and other machine options. I am happy to run tests and
  provide feedback if that helps identify the issue.

  I am using "Linux arch 5.4.0-rc6-mainline" kernel on ArchLinux host
  with AMD Navi reset pci quirk patch applied.
