[SOLVED] Problem with GPU Passthrough

Solved!

Using:
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:09\:00.0/remove
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan
Thank you very much, it solved my issue too. I got same "vfio-pci BAR 0: can't reserve memory" issue just after pve 7.2-3 upgrade. Also i needed to add "video=efifb:off" to kernel boot options, so i even could passthrough primary GPU in x16 slot.
 
Solved!

Using:
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:09\:00.0/remove
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan

You can create a .sh chmod +x and add it to cr

Thankyou! That actually fixed my BAR 3 problems where all else failed.
 
I just want to reiterate what @leesteken said....Adding the parameters with commas is not valid, this is a misconception from how the pci.ids works; as well as other command line software

I saw other posts afterwards, that still have it wrong (looking at @Tardar [sorry!])

You don't need amd_iommu=on because it is on by default. Also video=vesafb,efifb:eek:ff is invalid. You probably wannt video=vesafb:off video=efifb:off (and with 5.15 also video=simplefb:off).

They have to be separated like this (otherwise it won't work):

Code:
video=vesafb:off video=efifb:off video=simplefb:off

EDIT:
I have an AMD so the end result looks like this (yes the PCI.ids can be comma separated [they made this hard, rofl]):

Code:
amd_iommu=on iommu=pt textonly vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 nofb nomodeset vfio-pci.ids=00XX:00XX,00XX:00XX,00XX:00XX,00XX:00XX video=vesafb:off video=efifb:off video=simplefb:off

amd_iommu=on is not necessary and actually invalid because amd_iommu is on by default. You probably don't need textonly nofb nomodeset because you already disable the framebuffers and do early binding to vfio_pci. I doubt that you see any performance improvement for not passed through devices by using iommu=pt. Sorry, couldn't resist after you summoned me ;-)

It cannot be both un-necessary and invalid; especially if its already on. Just means its redundant, as already mentioned doesn't cause any harm; and actually teaches people about what is happening.

"Probably" and "doubt" is the key factor to your post, because with my setup; I had to do all of this and more to get it to actually work!

Explicitly defining these parameters, has no foreseeable downsides; if a headless configuration is desired.

After upgrading to 7.2.3 I saw the same problem with one of my VMs (the BAR 1: can't reserve .. messages) and when checking the dmesg output, I see the following two to three lines:

Code:
[    0.000000] Command line: initrd=\EFI\proxmox\5.15.35-1-pve\initrd.img-5.15.35-1-pve root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs amd_iommu=on iommu=pt pcie_acs_override=downstream pcie_aspm=off pci=noaer video=vesafb:off video=efifb:off video=simplefb:off

[    0.802065] pci 0000:47:00.0: BAR 1: assigned to efifb

That last one is interesting.. I assumed video=efifb:eek:ff disabled efifb and it from 'reserving' that graphics card, but apparently it does not. This system has an AST2500 (for the BMC/IPMI) and ideally I'd want to hard-code the console output to that one, so I also tried the following kernal command line:

Code:
[    0.000000] Command line: initrd=\EFI\proxmox\5.15.35-1-pve\initrd.img-5.15.35-1-pve root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs amd_iommu=on iommu=pt pcie_acs_override=downstream pcie_aspm=off pci=noaer textonly video=astdrmfb video=efifb:off video=vesafb:off video=efifb:off video=simplefb:off

..to no avail:

Code:
[    0.798432] pci 0000:47:00.0: BAR 1: assigned to efifb

What's going on / what might I be missing here? Does anyone see what's wrong/going on? This used to work perfectly fine pre 7.2.x :-/


Thanks!
 
Solved!

Using:
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:09\:00.0/remove
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan

You can create a .sh chmod +x and add it to cron

File: /root/fix_gpu_pass.sh

//Note Change "0000\:0X\:00.0" for your GPU PCI ID

#!/bin/bash
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:0X\:00.0/remove
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan

Add to cron:

crontab -e

add:

@reboot /root/fix_gpu_pass.sh

Thank you for your post. I have just spent 2 days and 2 nights trying to eradicate this nasty BOOTFB memory lock brought by the broken 5.15 kernels. Obviously this awful regression happens (as usual) when I am in the process of installing and configuring a new GPU with pass-through, making the entire process much more time consuming and painful than it should be.

I pinpointed the problem, as many others, to the new kernel just ignoring any boot argument, and locking a GPU reserved memory range whatever the cmdline parameter you throw at it.

root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs iommu=pt amd_iommu=on kvm_amd.npt=1 kvm_amd.avic=1 pcie_acs_override=downstream,multifunction vfio_iommu_type1 allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 video=efifb:eek:ff video=vesafb:eek:ff video=simplefb:eek:ff nofb nomodeset quiet

I downgraded to 5.13 and realized that I had wasted another week-end to kernel regressions, as the VM would get its GPU passthrough working straight away. Not willing to pin the kernel version, I was looking for a way to eradicate this ridiculous BOOTFB lock, as I already had to do the same in a previous life. But I could not get it to work again as the command was different.

To make things a bit clearer for desperate souls wandering this forum, here is what you get when you are plagued by this bug once you've done all you can to get the pass-through working (enabling IOMMU, changing boot parameters, getting Dev ID into vfio.conf...) :


Symptom : in dmesg you get one instance (or several thousand) of the super infamous

vfio-pci 0000:06:00.0: BAR 0: can't reserve [mem 0xd0000000-0xdfffffff 64bit pref]

It means that the vfio-pci pass-through driver is trying to lock the device (GPU) but is unable to do so, because another process is already accessing the same memory range.

Important to know that the actual memory range is indicated in the log message with 0x HEX prefix (0xd0000000-0xdfffffff)

To dig a bit further the secret command required is :

cat /proc/iomem which returns the memory reservation ranges

Then you look at the memory range used by your GPU PCIe device (in my case 0000:06:00.0)

c0000000-fec2ffff : PCI Bus 0000:00 <-- Start of the PCIE bus reservation
c0000000-c13fffff : PCI Bus 0000:0f
c0000000-c00fffff : 0000:0f:00.0
c0100000-c01fffff : 0000:0f:00.0
c0200000-c11fffff : 0000:0f:00.0
c1200000-c120ffff : 0000:0f:00.0
c1210000-c130ffff : 0000:0f:00.0
d0000000-e01fffff : PCI Bus 0000:02
d0000000-e01fffff : PCI Bus 0000:03
d0000000-e01fffff : PCI Bus 0000:04
d0000000-e01fffff : PCI Bus 0000:05
d0000000-e01fffff : PCI Bus 0000:06 <-- Hey here's my GPU!
d0000000-dfffffff : 0000:06:00.0 <-- Look Same address as in the error message !
d0000000-d02fffff : BOOTFB <-- WHAT THE Fùµ) is this?
e0000000-e01fffff : 0000:06:00.0

This BOOTFB frame buffer is NOT there when using the 5.13 kernel. It is supposed to be blocked by he cmdline parameter video=efifb:eek:ff
Another of these frame buffers is simplefb which has the same behavior but gets correctly blocked by video=simplefb:eek:ff

This is what it should look like after applying your deep cleansing method.
No more BOOTFB BS!

c0000000-fec2ffff : PCI Bus 0000:00
c0000000-c13fffff : PCI Bus 0000:0f
c0000000-c00fffff : 0000:0f:00.0
c0100000-c01fffff : 0000:0f:00.0
c0200000-c11fffff : 0000:0f:00.0
c1200000-c120ffff : 0000:0f:00.0
c1210000-c130ffff : 0000:0f:00.0
d0000000-e01fffff : PCI Bus 0000:02
d0000000-e01fffff : PCI Bus 0000:03
d0000000-e01fffff : PCI Bus 0000:04
d0000000-e01fffff : PCI Bus 0000:05
d0000000-e01fffff : PCI Bus 0000:06
d0000000-dfffffff : 0000:06:00.0
e0000000-e01fffff : 0000:06:00.0


And here's what happens once the GPU gets reserved for the pass-through driver (vfio-pci) and the VM is running in the background

c0000000-fec2ffff : PCI Bus 0000:00
c0000000-c13fffff : PCI Bus 0000:0f
c0000000-c00fffff : 0000:0f:00.0
c0100000-c01fffff : 0000:0f:00.0
c0200000-c11fffff : 0000:0f:00.0
c1200000-c120ffff : 0000:0f:00.0
c1210000-c130ffff : 0000:0f:00.0
d0000000-e01fffff : PCI Bus 0000:02
d0000000-e01fffff : PCI Bus 0000:03
d0000000-e01fffff : PCI Bus 0000:04
d0000000-e01fffff : PCI Bus 0000:05
d0000000-e01fffff : PCI Bus 0000:06
d0000000-dfffffff : 0000:06:00.0
d0000000-dfffffff : vfio-pci <-- Pass-through driver correctly garbing the PCIE device!
e0000000-e01fffff : 0000:06:00.0
e0000000-e01fffff : vfio-pci


Your post saved the day and I could happily kick this nasty BOOTFB bugger out of my GPU reserved memory.

Obviously, as any flame thrower, it is not perfect to light up a cigarette, but it'll do the job for the moment...

Last important note for AMD GPU users : /etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf does not need to be set to the GPU Ids. Apparently, the pass-though still works even with amdgpu driver being used by host at boot time (hence not requiring to be blacklisted). I have my RX 6500 XT running fine inside a Windows VM with such a configuration.

Nvidia GPU behave differently and usually require the proper settings to be added to /etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf + unlocked ROM file passed at VM launch for some GPUs at least.

since kernel 5.15 windows VM boot only works after boot host with HDMI disconnected. Monitor power supply disconnect is not enough, need to unplug hdmi cable.
This was the final tip that got it to work for me. Had to unplug the HDMI dummy from the graphics card during reboot of the actual server. Then everything worked perfectly. Thank you so much for pointing this out, @uiffiu !

Does anyone know if this is something that can be fixed in the future, or will I always need to go digging at the back of my rack when I need to reboot the server?
 
Is there any bug tracker that can be watched for this issue ? I have pinned the server to 5.13 in which GPU passthrough was working fine but would like the ability to upgrade to 5.15 as soon as it is fixed.

You can forcefully unload the BOOTFB framebuffer by using Jart proposed method. This should work fine with 5.15 kernel version. This is what I am using on 2 servers while the bug is still an issue with 5.15 kernels. Also see my post above about diagnosing if the BOOTFB lock is indeed your issue.

1/ Create a .sh file : nano /root/fix_gpu_pass.sh

#!/bin/bash
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:0X\:00.0/remove
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan


--> //Note Change "0000\:0X\:00.0" for your GPU PCI ID

2/ make it executable : chmod +x /root/fix_gpu_pass.sh

3/ Add this to your crontab so that it run after reboot :

crontab -e

add:

@reboot /root/fix_gpu_pass.sh

BOOTFB was my issue, fixed it with this script. now I don't need to have hdmi unplugged during boot or use 5.13 xD

Yes, thank you for your detailed post. It helped me confirm BOOTFB was indeed the issue. Applying the script does release the memory allocation from BOOTFB and vfio seem to be correctly grabbing the pci devices
I seem to have occasions where the PCI rescan conflicts with the start of the Guest VM on startup though. I don't have a compelling reason to upgrade to 5.15 at this point so I might stick with 5.13.

So glad I finally found this thread.. Like many others, been pulling my hair out over the last 3 days.... I had GPU passthrough working months ago and couldn't figure out why it doesn't work on a fresh install.

The cron job script did the job.. No more bootFB or whatever ROM reservation errors and passthrough works !!

Thanks the person who originally came up with this sollution or posted it here!! You saved me a bundle !!

My 3060ti is now happilly passed through.. now I'm holding my breath for the vGPU unlocking for this card to happen at some point in the (near) future...

This post save my day! Have been scratching out my head trying different methods to make the GPU passthrough works, but none of those actually made a difference until I found this. I was having BAR 1 error, due to bootFB and the cron job is just the right solution for this.

What a nice post! I've been looking for a solution to this BAR 3 issues all night. Big Thanks!

By the way, I also found better solution on a reddit post. It is adding "initcall_blacklist=sysfb_init" to kernel parameter. No need "video=efifb:off" or "video=simplefb:off" in kernel parameter. I also tested, it does solve the problem!

Thanks for your kind notes! I encountered a similar issue in Proxmox 7.2.5. Replacing video=efifb:off with initcall_blacklist=sysfb_init in /etc/default/grub indeed resolves the issue.

Can you please share the make and model of your GPU and motherboard? What is the version of Proxmox and kernel (uname -a). Which bootloader does your system use? What is the output of cat /proc/cmdline? What do your IOMMU groups (for d in /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/*/devices/*; do n=${d#*/iommu_groups/*}; n=${n%%/*}; printf 'IOMMU group %s ' "$n"; lspci -nns "${d##*/}"; done) look like?

Hope you can see somthing strange which could help.

Thanks for your time

I can't find whether Intel Z690 supports VT-d, but I assume so since you have IOMMU groups (please retest without pcie_acs_override).
Intel i9 12900K
This CPU supports VT-d.
ASUS AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT 16GB
AMD GPUs from the 6000 series should have no problems resetting. I suggest not blacklisting amdgpu and not early binding (any part of) it to vfio-pci and letting it take care of releasing the boot framebuffer before vfio-pci takes over. Also don't use any video=...:off. Check (after making changes and rebooting) before starting the VM with lspci -k that amdgpu is active for the VGA part of the GPU. It's probably fine if the other functions are early binded to vfio-pci.
Maybe attach the files from /etc/modprobe.d/ to your next reply so I can point out some changes that might help?
A lspci -nnk of the full GPU device and your VM configuration file might also help.
Kernel:
Linux hci01 5.17.14-edge #1 SMP PREEMPT PVE Edge 5.17.14-1 (2022-06-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Sorry, I only have experience with the official PVE 5.15 kernel (and earlier). I have no idea what problems or improvements Edge 5.17 has. Can you please try with the most up-to-date pve-kernel-5.15?

Weird. Looks like you are booting in UEFI from ZFS but according to the manual systemd-boot is not used, Maybe CSM is enabled? What is the output of proxmox-boot-tool status
Cmdline output:
initrd=\EFI\proxmox\5.17.14-edge\initrd.img-5.17.14-edge root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs quiet intel_iommu=on iommu=pt pcie_acs_override=downstream,multifunction video=efifb:eek:ff

Because of the use of pcie_acs_override=downstream,multifunction any IOMMU group information is useless. And I really don't think you need pcie_acs_override. Please remove it and show the groups again. Maybe move the GPU to the PCIe x16 slot closest to the CPU. Please also remove video=efifb:off because it does not even help since kernel 5.15.
Hope you can see somthing strange which could help.
Yes, pcie_acs_override, the (unsupported?) kernel, unclear if it is booting in UEFI mode and the fact that a AMD 6800 XT should not need work-arounds (even when used during POST/boot).
