Excessive memory allocation on guest and host with gpu passthrough Description of problem: While gpu passthrough is enabled, the maximum amount of ram is allocated on the host (64 GB), even if the guest only has 8 GB configured as "currently allocated". If I disable the physical gpu, the guest only takes the 8 GB. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install qemu-kvm virt-manager libvirt-daemon-system virtinst libvirt-clients and bridge-utils. 1. Create a Windows vm with virt-manager 1. Insert discrete GPU on a secondary pcie slot. 1. Add `intel_iommu=on iommu=pt vfio-pci.ids=10de:17c8,10de:0fb0` to the GRUB kernel parameters. 1. Add `options vfio-pci ids=10de:17c8,10de:0fb0` and `softdep nvidia pre: vfio-pci` to `/etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf`. 1. Update initrmfs image. 1. Add pcie hardware on virt-manager. 1. Install virtio and nvidia drivers on guest. Additional information: I'm using an Nvidia gtx 980Ti on a secondary slot for the guest. The first slot has an rtx 4090 used by the host. ``` OS: Linux Mint 22.1 x86_64 Host: MS-7E07 2.0 Kernel: 6.8.0-51-generic Shell: bash 5.2.21 Resolution: 3840x2160, 3840x2160 DE: Cinnamon 6.4.8 WM: Mutter (Muffin) Terminal: gnome-terminal CPU: Intel i9-14900K (32) @ 5.700GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU: Intel Raptor Lake-S GT1 [UHD Graphics 770] Memory: 73717MiB / 96317MiB ``` [vWin.xml](/uploads/3fe8133f67577f8724b060908b390c32/vWin.xml) [vWin.log](/uploads/efa029460a62b62cbcff464af7cdb72a/vWin.log) ![Screenshot_from_2025-04-19_02-34-37](/uploads/0245ed4bf2dee96fcf396ef899ac2c2b/Screenshot_from_2025-04-19_02-34-37.png)
