I think Minfei means he applied this patch, so no error message is got.
The patches he listed includes this one:
0006-x86-iommu-fix-incorrect-bit-operations-in-setting-va.patch
Hi Zhenhua,
Below is abstracted from Joerg's comments which he and David discussed
and get to this conclusion. So the 1st step is the same as your patches,
how do you think the 2nd step?
1. If the VT-d driver finds the IOMMU enabled, it reuses its
root-context table. This way the IOMMU must not be disabled
and re-enabled, eliminating the race we have now.
Other data structures like the context-entries are copied
over from the old kernel. We basically keep all mappings
from the old kernel, allowing any in-flight DMA to succeed.
No memory or disk data corruption.
The issue here is, that we modify data from the old kernel
which is about to be dumped. But there are ways to work
around that.
2. When a device driver issues the first dma_map command for a
device, we assign a new and empty page-table, thus removing
all mappings from the old kernel for the device.
Rationale is, that at this point the device driver should
have reset the device to a point where all in-flight DMA is
canceled.
Thanks
