Hi Takao Indoh, Happy New Year, and thank you very much for you help. The flush is quite a problem, as there are several places the flush function should be called, I think the flush should be placed in functions like __iommu_update_old_*. Created a small patch for this, it is attached. As I cannot reproduce your problems on my system, so could you please try these steps? 1. Apply the latest patchset, including 9/10 and 10/10, and then apply the attached patch_for_flush.patch. And then test the kernel. 2. If 1 does not fix the DMAR fault problems, then it might be caused by 7/10, so please *unpatch* it from the kernel (others and the attached one should be patched), and then test the kernel.
