        Hi guys, i was planning to buy USB card with at least 2 usb
        ports to assign each one to each VM, so I'm asking some advice
        about a brand that works soft with Linux VFIO. Thank you so
        much in advance!


    Hi Marcial,

    The Sonnet Allegro Pro worked great for me:
    https://amazon.com/Sonnet-Allegro-Pro-PCIe-card/dp/B00XPUHO10/
    <https://amazon.com/Sonnet-Allegro-Pro-PCIe-card/dp/B00XPUHO10/>

    I pass three of the four controllers through to different VMs, no
    ACS override necessary on my machine. VM reboots work without an
    issue. An earlier post on this mailing list indicated problems
    with this card with VM reboots, but that seems to have been
    resolved in more recent kernels. My host runs Ubuntu 17.04, kernel
    4.10.


Does the PCIe switch actually support ACS on the downstream ports for this card?  I've seen some reports that certain switch configurations are incorrectly allowing separate iommu groups where they shouldn't.  Fair warning, we're probably going to need to fix that and break some configurations that were incorrectly grouped. Thanks,


Yer breakin' my heart! :-)

Good question, how do I check that?

Steve
