Mikulas was saying to biect what is causing ATA to fail.

Some good news and some bad news. The good news first:

Your patchset

f3396c58fd8442850e759843457d78b6ec3a9589,

seems to work fine w/ 3.18.19 !!

Why did I test it with 3.18.x now? Because I suddenly got two ata errors
(ata1 and ata2) with clean 3.19.8 (w/o the AMD-Vi IO_PAGE_FAULTs) during
normal operation. This means: 3.19 must already be broken, too.

Therefore, I applied your patchset to 3.18.x and it seems to work like a
charme - I don't get any AMD-Vi IO_PAGE_FAULTs on boot and no ata errors
(until now).


Next I did: I tried to bisect between 3.18 and 3.19 with your patchset
applied, because w/ this patchset applied, the problem can be seen
easily and directly on boot. Unfortunately, this does work only a few
git bisect rounds until I got stuck because of interferences with your
extra patches applied:

[Resolved the problems written at the last post.]

Bisecting ended here:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=34b48db66e08ca1c1bc07cf305d672ac940268dc

block: remove artifical max_hw_sectors cap


Removing this patch on 3.19 and 4.1 make things working again. Didn't
test 4.0, but I think it's the same. No more AMD-Vi IO_PAGE_FAULTS  with
that patch reverted.


Please check why this patch triggers AMD-Vi IO_PAGE_FAULTS.


Thanks,
kind regards,
Andreas Hartmann

I would submit this bug to maintainers of AMD-Vi. They understand the
hardware, so they should tell why do large I/O requests result in
IO_PAGE_FAULTs.

You forgot the ata errors ... . They are gone, too. I got these ata errors on 3.19 w/o your patchset and w/o AMD-Vi IO_PAGES_FAULTs, too.



Regards,
Andreas
