Bug ID: 288873
Summary: Windows 11 VM with GPU passthrough hangs on boot when
using more than one vCPU
Product: Base System
Version: 14.3-RELEASE
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bhyve
Assignee: virtualization@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: hayzam@alchemilla.io
I use this Bhyve command:
bhyve \
-c cpus=8,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=2 \
-m 11662 \
-S -A -I -u -H -P \
-s 0:0,hostbridge \
-l
bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd,/root/Projects/Sylve/data/vms/102/102_vars.fd
\
-s 2:0,xhci,tablet \
-s 1:0,lpc \
-s 3:0,e1000,tap0,mac=12:e4:ac:7c:a6:d7 \
-s 10:0,nvme,/dev/zvol/zroot/windows-11 \
-s 11:0,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5908,w=1024,h=768,password=redacted \
-s 12:0,passthru,1/0/0 \
-s 13:0,passthru,1/0/1 \
102
This is essentially a Windows 11 VM with two passthrough devices:
ppt0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10de
device=0x1c03 subvendor=0x19da subdevice=0x1438
vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device = 'GP106 [GeForce GTX 1060 6GB]'
class = display
subclass = VGA
ppt1@pci0:1:0:1: class=0x040300 rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10de
device=0x10f1 subvendor=0x19da subdevice=0x1438
vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device = 'GP106 High Definition Audio Controller'
class = multimedia
subclass = HDA
The VM hangs on boot and does not respond to any input.
If I boot with just one core, it works fine but with more than one core, it
gets stuck during boot. It should also be noted that this ONLY is a problem if
I have pass through devices, without any it boots fine.
