Hello.

I'm running FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE and I'm trying to passthru my CoffeeLake-S GT2 [UHD Graphics 630] on a Linux VM but it failed. This graphic card :


ppt4@pci0:0:2:0:        class=0x038000 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x3e98 subvendor=0x1458 subdevice=0xd000
vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
device     = 'CoffeeLake-S GT2 [UHD Graphics 630]'
class      = display


below there are the bhyve parameters that I've used :


bhyve -S -c sockets=1,cores=2,threads=2 -m 4G -w -H -A \
-s 0,hostbridge \
-s 1,nvme,/dev/$vmdisk0,bootindex=1 \
-s 2,ahci-hd,/dev/$vmdisk2 \
-s 3,ahci-hd,/dev/$vmdisk4 \
-s 4,passthru,0/2/0 \
-s 7,virtio-net,tap4 \
-s 10,hda,play=/dev/dsp,rec=/dev/dsp \
-s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5904,w=1500,h=950 \
-s 30,xhci,tablet \
-s 31,lpc \
-l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_BHF_CODE.fd \
vm4 < /dev/null & sleep 2 && vncviewer 0:4


this is the error I get :


bhyve: Warning: Unable to reuse host address of Graphics Stolen Memory. 
GPU passthrough might not work properly.bhyve: gvt_d_setup_opregion: Unable to get OpRegion base and length ;
bhyve: gvt_d_init: Unable to setup OpRegion ; device emulation initialization
error: Operation not supported by device


A bhyve developer replied to me in this way :


I thought in general we couldn't pass the GPU if it was being used by the host? (Thus you would need to have two GPUs, one to allow the host to display its output and one to passthrough. Unless the host is completely headless).


At this point I think that the intel GPU is actually in use,but I don't know what could keep it in use. Infact :


I've removed the xf86-video-intel driver from the system with :


pkg remove xf86-video-intel


2) I haven't any i915kms or legacy intel module inside the memory :


# kldstat | grep i915 : nothing
# kldstat | grep kms : nothing
# kldstat | grep intel : nothing


3) this is my xorg.conf (where is there is no trace of intel driver)

I've just booted a linux vm passing thru the RTX 2080 ti using the same parameters used before and it worked. I've detached the HDMI cable from the 1060 and I've attached it to the 2080 ti and I've got what I wanted from the beginning : to choose between virtualize an OS with bhyve or more easily,only using the second monitor without bhyve. Now I want also pass thru the intel GPU.

What video card do I think provides the image I'm looking at on my monitor ? The following scheme is valid to answer this question :


1) monitor AOC + monitor Samsung -> 1 HDMI cable (for the samsung) + 1 DP cable (for the AOC) -> geforce 1060 - without a bhyve-Linux VM

2) monitor AOC + monitor Samsung -> 1 DP cable attached to the AOC and 1 hdmi cable attached to the RTX 2080 ti - if I want to use a bhyve / Linux vm passing the RTX 2080 ti GPU

3) monitor AOC + monitor Samsung -> 1 DP cable attached to the AOC and 1 HDMI cable attached to the Intel GPU - if I want to use a bhyve / Linux VM passing the Intel GPU


The Intel GPU is always kept free as well as the RTX 2080 ti. Even in the BIOS,since I've chosen the 1060 as default GPU,but the Intel GPU is enabled.
