--- Comment #33 from David Coe (david.coe@xxxxxxxxxx) ---
Good evening all!

Herewith a summary of our various results, including my latest for the Ryzen 7
4700U (Acer Swift 3).

20 msec wait with logged retrys

Ryzen     Kernel            Cold    Warm

4700U   5.11.0-11            6      1
3500U   5.11.7               5      6
2500U   5.8.0-45                    5
        5.12.0 RC3           5    > 5
2400G   5.11.0-11            6      6
        5.8.0-45             5      6
2200G       ?                     >10

Two points are clear:

1. there are differences between cold and warm boot, mostly marginal but marked
and very consistent with my 4700U.

2. the choice of 5 as the maximum retry number is (sorry, Suravee) unfortunate.
Mostly, it guarantees that all our Ryzens just fail the IOMMU write test!

Paul's experiences with the 2200G are the exception and I can appreciate his
unease about just increasing the number of retrys. I'm sure he, Suravee, Alex
and the AMD engineers will find an elegant solution to the problem :-).

In the meantime, could you formally patch-the-patch, Suravee? I'll pass on the
above data to Alex Hung, our "cherry-picker" at Ubuntu.

Best regards

David
