1. 目的

验证在headless GPU Server上启用virgl加速的可行性

2. 环境

硬件: nvidia gtx1060 6G独显笔记本(附带intel集显):

$ sudo lspci | grep -i vga

系统及软件(arch下依赖qemu/qemu-ui-egl-headless):

$ uname -r
6.0.12-arch1-1
$ cat /etc/issue
Arch Linux \r (\l)
$ qemu-system-x86_64 --version
QEMU emulator version 7.1.0
Copyright (c) 2003-2022 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers
$ sudo pacman -Q | grep -i qemu | grep egl
qemu-ui-egl-headless 7.1.0-11

VM环境:

$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS \n \l
$ uname -r
5.15.0-56-generic

3. 启动VM

纯命令行下启动(无x11登陆):

sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -name  ubuntu2204 -drive file=`pwd`/ubuntudesktop2004_spice.qcow2,if=virtio -m 8192 -enable-kvm -cpu host -smp 8,sockets=1,cores=8,threads=1   -spice unix=on,addr=/tmp/spice.sock,disable-ticketing=on,plaintext-channel=default,seamless-migration=on,image-compression=off,jpeg-wan-compression=never,zlib-glz-wan-compression=never,streaming-video=off,playback-compression=off \
-netdev user,id=vnet,hostfwd=:127.0.0.1:2278-:22,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:5555,hostfwd=tcp::5556-:5556,hostfwd=tcp::5557-:5557,hostfwd=tcp::5800-:5800,hostfwd=tcp::3389-:3389,hostfwd=tcp::14000-:4000 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=vnet \
-display egl-headless,rendernode=/dev/dri/renderD129 \
-device virtio-vga-gl,max_outputs=1 \
-device virtio-serial-pci \
-chardev spicevmc,id=charchannel1,name=vdagent \
-device virtserialport,chardev=charchannel1,id=channel1,name=com.redhat.spice.0

其中rendernode为nvidia gtx1060.

4. 验证

另起一终端,ssh到vm后验证:

$ export DISPLAY=:0
$ glxinfo | grep -i render
direct rendering: Yes
    GLX_MESA_query_renderer, GLX_MESA_swap_control, GLX_NV_float_buffer, 
    GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer, GLX_MESA_query_renderer, GLX_MESA_swap_control,

最终跑分为接近4000分,由此可见headless server下virgl的2d/3d均可用, 且使用了nvidia卡的加速能力。
