is_swiotlb_force_bounce() was the new function introduced in this patch here.
+static inline bool is_swiotlb_force_bounce(struct device *dev)

To me the crash looks like dev->dma_io_tlb_mem is NULL. Can you
turn this into :
return dev->dma_io_tlb_mem && dev->dma_io_tlb_mem->force_bounce;
for a quick debug check?
I just realized that dma_io_tlb_mem might be NULL like Christoph
pointed out since swiotlb might not get initialized.
However, `Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address
dfff80000000000e` looks more like the address is garbage rather than
NULL?
I wonder if that's because dev->dma_io_tlb_mem is not assigned
properly (which means device_initialize is not called?).
What also looks odd is that the base "address" 0xdfff800000000000 is held in
a couple of registers, but the offset 0xe looks too small to match up to any
relevant structure member in that dereference chain :/
FWIW, I've managed to trigger a NULL dereference locally when swiotlb hasn't
been initialised but we dereference 'dev->dma_io_tlb_mem', so I think
Christoph's suggestion is needed regardless.
Ack to that - for SWIOTLB_NO_FORCE, io_tlb_default_mem will remain NULL.
The massive jump in KernelCI baseline failures as of yesterday looks
like every arm64 machine with less than 4GB of RAM blowing up...
Robin.
But I agree that it won't help
with the issue reported by Qian Cai.
Qian Cai: please can you share your .config and your command line?
Thanks,
