Public bug reported:
I'm running into a weird issue with the vfio-pci driver through qemu
I use it on a laptop and I passthrough an external GPU connected via PCI
express. In general this works well, however if the laptop has *ever*
suspended since its last boot, then the windows guest reports an error
43 on the card and I get no output on the monitor that it is connected
to. This is really weird to me since it works fine if I boot the latop
from power-off, and hotplug the card. It's only if the laptop has ever
suspended since it's last boot that I see this issue. Even if it was
suspended before the card was ever hotplugged.
In other words:
laptop off -> boot -> hotplug GPU : works great
laptop off -> boot -> do stuff (GPU *NOT* connected) -> sleep -> resume ->
hotplug GPU: problem
laptop off -> boot -> hotplug GPU -> unplug GPU -> hotplug GPU : works great
laptop off -> boot -> hotplug GPU -> unplug GPU -> sleep -> resume -> hotplug
GPU: problem
Weird stuff...
I'm honestly not sure that vfio-pci/qemu is to blame here since there
are so many moving parts, but im not really sure where else to report
this to
What I have tried is using the sysfs interface to
remove/rescan/poweroff/etc the PCI devices in questions (graphics card
and it's HDMI audio) and this also does help.
QEMU version: 2.6.1
