***GUIDE*** Passthrough Entire PCI USB Controller


archedraft

Recommended Posts

Well, that blacklist option doesn't seem to do anything. Does anyone who knows linux and unraid better than I know of a way to prevent the xhci / usb3 driver from ever loading? Its really the last idea I have after pci-stub failed. I don't need unraid to use any of the USB3 controllers at all.

 

I'm wondering if others have problems? Can anyone test installing a USB3 device to a USB3 port (BEFORE turning on the host) that is passed through to a VM and tell me if the device appears OK in the VM?

 

I ran a lot of tests and everything works perfectly if I have USB2 devices connected. I tested with external hard drive, flash drives, usb mouse and usb sound cards. On both the pci-e card and on the onboard controllers. I even used an extension cable to turn a USB3 device that had caused the problem into a 2.0 one and it worked fine. Its only USB3 devices that mess things up.

 

Between that and the inability to get old PCI (classic) devices working I'm pretty much stuck on this project.

archedraft,

 

      I have a few more things I would like to see if you could help me.

 

      I went ahead a bought a PCIe USB 3.0 expansion card. I installed it and started testing all the 3.0 ports. There are 7 total, 5 external and 2 internal, all 3.0. Here is what I have so far.

 

lspci | grep USB:

 

00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Controller
00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI Controller #2
00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI Controller #1
06:00.0 USB controller: Fresco Logic Device 1100 (rev 10)

 

The Intel controller is my onboard USB ports, and the Fresco Logic Device is my PCIe USB 3.0 expansion card.

I tried passing through: 06:00.0 USB controller: Fresco Logic Device 1100 (rev 10), however that did not work, multiple errors.

 

My unRaid USB is the SanDisk Cruzer, on Bus 01, which is located on a 2.0 USB port on the motherboard.

 

A few things I have noticed is that "readlink /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb" for Bus 3 and 4, produce an extra address that the other ones do. I think this might be related to :

00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev d0)
00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 3 (rev d0)
00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 4 (rev d0)
00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 5 (rev d0)

Which makes some sense, however that is only 5 of the 7 USB ports. I am assuming that these are the 5 external ports. Then there are the 2 internal ports. The extremely odd thing is the fact that all 5 of the external ports are on Bus 4, which makes sense, but then the internal ports, one is on Bus 3 and one is on Bus 4. So a total of 6 on Bus 4 and 1 on Bus 3.

 

So I am lost at what to do next, maybe there is something I need to do in the Bios??? Or could it be a driver issue? I don't know what I should try next to pass through this USB card. Any help I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thanks again for the help from before! Look forward to hearing from you!

SOLVED, i think ?? I can now hot plug usb things.

Method used guide, but still wounder why this method did not work for me and litle confused what is diffrent about this two method.

I followed this guide to passthrough the USB controller that my FUJITSU SnapScan document scanner is connected to, but I am getting an error when I try to start my Windows 8.1 VM about the following line; which the guide says is required.

 

<qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1'/>

 

I don't understand why this line is required as it is written?  What if my server does not have the device ioh3420 on bus pice.0 with address 1c.0?  Please see the attached screenshots.  My XML for the VM is below.  I'm running unRAID 6.1.3.  Thanks!

So I am lost at what to do next, maybe there is something I need to do in the Bios??? Or could it be a driver issue? I don't know what I should try next to pass through this USB card. Any help I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thanks again for the help from before! Look forward to hearing from you!

 

Have you tired using this instead of the 06 lines?

0000:00:1c.4

 

Another option would be to move your unRAID usb to the new internal card and then pass through the motherboard USB? Just a thought.

SOLVED, i think ?? I can now hot plug usb things.

Method used guide, but still wounder why this method did not work for me and litle confused what is diffrent about this two method.

 

Added

<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <driver name='vfio'/>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x12' function='0x2'/>
      </source>
    </hostdev>

 

Are you passing through a graphics card as well? If not I think the issue is that instead of

<qemu:arg value='-device'/>

<qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=00:12.2,bus=root.1,addr=00.1'/>

 

It should have been:

<qemu:arg value='-device'/>

<qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=00:12.2,bus=root.1,addr=00.0'/>

I followed this guide to passthrough the USB controller that my FUJITSU SnapScan document scanner is connected to, but I am getting an error when I try to start my Windows 8.1 VM about the following line; which the guide says is required.

 

<qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1'/>

 

I don't understand why this line is required as it is written?  What if my server does not have the device ioh3420 on bus pice.0 with address 1c.0?  Please see the attached screenshots.  My XML for the VM is below.  I'm running unRAID 6.1.3.  Thanks!

 

What does it say if you remove the follow and try and start?

    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

    <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1'/>

Somrething really weird is happening when i was trying to identify the bus my usb ports are on.

 

Ok, so I am connecting a thumbdrive from Kingston to each USB port to identify the bus. SO I plug into this certain port and the below shows when i run the command lsusb

 

root@Tower:~# lsusb

Bus 004 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp.

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

 

 

Notice the Kingston thumdrive showing that its connected to Bus 2 right?

 

I connect my APC USB cable to the same port and thsi is what it shows

 

root@Tower:~# lsusb

Bus 004 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp.

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

 

 

So from bus 002 it became bus 001! I actually want to pas through bus 001 as it seems to have the most ports and I only need two ports for unRAID itself (APC UPS and the OS itself) But if it always changes like this Im afraid im almost definitely gonna end up getting my OS USB controller to pass through...

 

Any ideas as to why would the bus keep on changing?

 

Would it be because both Bus 001 and 002 are connected to the same PCI controller?

 

 

root@Tower:~# readlink /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1

../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1

root@Tower:~# readlink /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2

../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2

root@Tower:~#

 

 

Edit: seems to be all the usb ports are under 1 bus/controller.

 

Gonna have to get an external one or try out jonp's suggestion once i have the time....sigh....

Hey all, hoping you can help me out.

 

Is it possible to have the motherboard switch USB buses for the USB slots?  I am following the instructions and moving a ADATA 32GB USB3.0 stick from slot to slot but no matter what slot I put it in the lsusb command lists the stick on buss two.  Even when I pull out a usb cord from a slot that lsusb lists as bus 1 as soon as I plug in the ADATA stick lsusb then lists it as buss 2. 

 

This is making it impossible for me to figure out what USB buss to passthrough.

Hi all, i am struggling getting my usb devices to pass through to my virtual machines. Here is what i am doing, hopefully one of you will be able to point out what i have missed.

 

Following the guide

lspci | grep USB

What I want to send to one VM

Bus 006 Device 003: ID 045e:0752 Microsoft Corp. Wired Keyboard 400

Bus 006 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub

Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

 

What I want to send to another VM

Bus 003 Device 007: ID 046d:c222 Logitech, Inc. G15 Keyboard / LCD

Bus 003 Device 006: ID 046d:c221 Logitech, Inc. G11/G15 Keyboard / Keyboard

Unraid Key

Bus 005 Device 004: ID 0951:1665 Kingston Technology Digital DataTraveler SE9 64GB

Bus 005 Device 003: ID 2433:b111

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub

Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

 

The next step

 

readlink /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb6

../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb6

readlink /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb3

../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:09:00.0/usb3

 

so I know my two devices are 00:1d.0 and 09:00.0

 

my IOMMU Groups are

/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/24/devices/0000:09:00.0

/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/16/devices/0000:00:1d.0

/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/9/devices/0000:00:1a.0  << UNRAID OS

 

I create a VM, add in some disks, graphics soundcard etc and I didn’t tick any usb devices manually as i want to pass the whole controller

I changed the xml in my VM (highlighted) to be as follows

  <qemu:commandline>

  <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

    <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1'/>

    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=02:00.0,bus=pcie.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on'/>

    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=03:00.1,bus=pcie.0'/>

    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=00:1b.0,bus=pcie.0'/>

    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=09:00.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.1'/>

  </qemu:commandline>

 

I then start the VM and it boots up, selects the correct graphics. Goes to the windows install but my keyboard and mouse do nothing.

What am I missing?

 

 

 

 

Link to comment

Have you tried just passing through the mouse and keyboard in the template instead of the whole controller?

Then you pass through the controller after windows is installed.

It looks like my motherboard (Asus Z9PE-D8 WS) and the controller you are passing through is USB 3 and then I think you need drivers first.

Link to comment

So I installed the drivers and rebooted, once the VM comes up in unRAID USB devices all the devices on that controller disappear and nothing happens in the VM. the only way to get them to come back is to do a reboot of the physical computer and restart unRAID.

 

edit,

ok so researched and it is supposed to vanish as it has been passed through to the VM, only issue is the VM shows no new devices, the VM already has the usb 3 drivers installed but nothing comes up.

 

Any thoughts

Im hoping to gain your support in resolving my pass thru issue with USB ports.

 

I followed the instruction on page 1. Here is my data:

 

PCI Device

00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI (rev 05)

IOMMU Groups

/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/1/devices/0000:00:14.0

 

After running line command /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/1/devices/0000:00:14.0

The USB 1 & 2 are no longer available which are both in group 1 as seen from the remaining USB.

 

USB Devices

Bus 006 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp.

Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

 

So far so good so I added this to the XML:

<qemu:commandline>

    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>

    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=00:14.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.0'/>

</qemu:commandline>

 

During launching of the VM I get the error [glow=red,2,300]"-device vfio-pci,host=00:14.0,bus=root 1,address=00.0: Bus 'root. 1' not found"[/glow]

Hi again. No that didn't work. I didn't add this before because I thought it was for a card. Anyways it throws an error for the following:

<qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1'/>[/b]

 

It it possibly the address as I highlighted above?

 

Thanks

Just tried that but one is my graphics so I get a black screen!! :-) I am banging my head against this at the moment, I have also tried passing across a different usb controller instead of the usb3 one and the same thing happens.

 

I have also just tried using

 

<controller type='usb' index='0' model='nec-xhci'>

      </controller>

 

On the VM in device manager it now says USB 3.0 host controller however nothing works in those usb ports at all. Its like there is no power going to them at all so mouse, keyboard joystick etc don't even appear in the device manager

 

edit miss read your bold, brb testing

Depends on what the error message says? Can you post a screen shot?

Win10 x64, I am just copying over a win 7 iso to try but would rather stick with 10 as I upgraded my install key!

 

Hmm yeah either should work just fine... So it boots up give fine without error but doesn't find the USB controller, correct? Does the device manager show an unknown device? Maybe check your mobo website for drivers? Other than that I don't have a clue
