Created attachment 195225 [details] Patch for VT-d capability detection on chipsets that have multiple translation units with differing capabilities When an attempt is made to passthrough a PCI device to a bhyve VM (causing initialisation of IOMMU) on certain Intel chipsets using VT-d the PCI bus stops working entirely. This issue occurs on the E3-1275 v5 processor on C236 chipset and has also been encountered by others on the forums with different hardware in the Skylake series. The chipset has two VT-d translation units. The issue is caused by an attempt to use the VT-d device-IOTLB capability that is supported by only the first unit for devices attached to the second unit which lacks that capability. Only the capabilities of the first unit are checked and are assumed to be the same for all units. Attached is a patch to rectify this issue by determining which unit is responsible for the device being added to a domain and then checking that unit's device-IOTLB capability. In addition to this a few fixes have been made to other instances where the first unit's capabilities are assumed for all units for domains they share. In these cases a mutual set of capabilities is determined. The patch should hopefully fix any bugs for current/future hardware with multiple translation units supporting different capabilities. A description is on the forums at https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/pci-passthrough-bhyve-usb-xhci.65235 The thread includes observations by other users of the bug occurring, and description as well as confirmation of the fix. I'd also like to thank Ordoban for their help. The attached patch applies to 11.2-RELEASE and the current 11-STABLE. It will also apply to 12.0-CURRENT since the only difference in source at present is an extra 2 lines of licensing comment. Although I have personally only tested the patch on 11.2-RELEASE there's no reason results should differ on 12.0-CURRENT.
I ran into this issue (on an Intel Celeron 3865U) with the exact symptoms described in the linked thread, and the patch resolved it for me as well. I had tried the other workaround before - only pick devices on another PCI bus and IRQ line for passthru - but that did not help. Without this patch, any attempt to use a passthru device immediately crashes the whole computer by rendering all PCI devices like AHCI and USB controllers absent.
I had the same issue on my Shuttle DS77U mini-PC (Intel Celeron 3865U; Sunrise Point-LP chipset) and the patch fixes the issue perfectly. Both of my host and guest run 11.2-STABLE as of 28th Sep.. Someone please make sure there's no side effect and commit/MFC.
Attached patch fixes the hanging system for me running 12.0-RELEASE-p2 on a Kabylake series i7-8550U.
Patch works great on 12.0 with Skylake i7-6820HQ. Please commit and MFC.
Thanks for the patch!!! Could you guys share with me how did you test it? As an example: 1) bhyve command line 2) CPU Type 3) Guest OS USED 4) Device used via passthrough Best,
(In reply to Marcelo Araujo from comment #5) > 1) bhyve command line I'm not sure tbh - created and started it via vm-bhyve and it rewrites its cmdline. Its config file contains these lines, plus others that deal with storage and vnet: --- loader="bhyveload" cpu=2 memory=4G passthru0="0/31/6" bhyve_options="-S" --- > 2) CPU Type CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 3865U @ 1.80GHz (1800.08-MHz K8-class CPU) Origin="GenuineIntel" Id=0x806e9 Family=0x6 Model=0x8e Stepping=9 This is a Kaby Lake CPU (same class as 7th gen Core) from 2017. > 3) Guest OS USED guest# uname -srv FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p7 #0: Tue Dec 18 08:29:33 UTC 2018 root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC > 4) Device used via passthrough --- host# grep ^ppt /boot/loader.conf pptdevs="0/31/6 2/0/0" host# pciconf -lv ppt1@pci0:0:31:6 ppt1@pci0:0:31:6: class=0x020000 card=0x00008086 chip=0x156f8086 rev=0x21 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Ethernet Connection I219-LM' class = network subclass = ethernet --- guest# pciconf -lv em0 em0@pci0:0:6:0: class=0x020000 card=0x00008086 chip=0x156f8086 rev=0x21 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Ethernet Connection I219-LM' class = network subclass = ethernet --- (The second device, some WiFi chipset, isn't passed through to any VM, and there is no FreeBSD driver for it anyway) As said, without the patch the system dies an immediate death as soon as the bhyve with passthrough is started.
The patch has some formatting only type changes that should be reduced, but looks ok overall. I would also like to here some test results on systems that are NOT having this issue to insure it does not break anything there. I brought this review up in the bhyve every other week meeting to get some more eyes on it.
Sorry, I'm gonna put this bug report back to the pool, I'm sure Rodney will check it soon.
(In reply to Callum from comment #0) Do you have a phabricator account on reviews.freebsd.org? If so would you put your patch up in a review over there? If not would you be either willing to set up one, or have me copy your patch to a review so we can move forward with fixing this issue?

(In reply to Rodney W. Grimes from comment #9) Submitted for review - D19001 (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D19001)
Tested the patch on an i5-4690K with no immediate adverse affects.
(In reply to Niels Bakker from comment #12) Are you passing through any devices?
Yes, otherwise it wouldn't be a real test, wouldn't it? :-) Specifically, I passed through an audio device which was recognised in the guest, both in the stock 12.0 kernel and in one with the patch attached to this PR applied on the host.
thank you very much for this patch, saved me ages of head scratching! just wanted to add another confirmed working report with rather nonstandard PfSense host and Ubuntu guest. hopefully this can get merged soon. host: FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p10 #9 4a2bfdce133(RELENG_2_4_4): Wed May 15 18:54:42 EDT 2019 root@buildbot1-nyi.netgate.com:/build/ce-crossbuild-244/obj/amd64/ZfGpH5cd/build/ce-crossbuild-244/pfSense/tmp/FreeBSD-src/sys/pfSense kmod build host: FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE #0 r335510: Fri Jun 22 04:32:14 UTC 2018 root@releng2.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC root@malibu:/usr/src # svn info Path: .

Thanks a lot for submitting this fix, and thanks to everyone who tested it and reported back.
Looks like MFC was forgotten for this, is it possible to get this into 12.1 still?
What version of FreeBSD will be free of this bug? 12.2 in the better of the worlds?
r349184 could fix the problem on my Skylake machine, but is not yet MFCed to 12-STABLE and 11-STABLE. Is there anyone care to do that? Thanks!
