Hi, i'm totally noob =D and don't know how stuff works.

This was originaly a level1forum project for vfio stuff but i think actually i'm sure it will help even normal users.

Is it possible to add this patch to your kernel?

M-Bab commented 4 years ago

That looks interesting but I think it is not meant to be build within the kernel. It is a kernel module and can be build and installed as such. dkms can help to auto-build it whenever new kernels are installed.

Overall I can't build kernels at the moment anyway. The sources deviated too far. I have to wait for AMD to rebase their code onto the 5.10 kernel.

I really hope they sort it out. When they were failing they shrunk their Linux dev team, I hope now their doing well they grow it again if they haven't already.

It seems like vendor_reset is focused on AMD GPUs that can do VFIO - so it works with those, but not e.g. Vega GPUs.

@gnif pointed out that if anyone is interested in implementing this then the amdgpu source is the place to look, and indeed this looks interesting:
