sata_nv 0000:00:0d.0: DMA-API: device driver frees DMA memory with different

That's rather curious. It seems to be saying that the sg length is different between the map and unmap, but it doesn't look like sata_nv mucks with that anywhere, and neither does libata core..
Could the SCSI code have merged two requests?
I wouldn't think so.. and if it did it seems like it would have to have changed the list after libata got the request somehow..
Does this box uses GART IOMMU?
I don't think so, but I've asked for the dmesg.
Okay, it _is_ using GART IOMMU:

DMA-API: preallocated 8192 debug entries
DMA-API: debugging enabled by kernel config
PCI-DMA: Disabling AGP.
PCI-DMA: aperture base @ 20000000 size 65536 KB
PCI-DMA: using GART IOMMU.
PCI-DMA: Reserving 64MB of IOMMU area in the AGP aperture

Thanks, that makes sense.

I think that the following patch could fix this:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=123484533504307&w=2

The patch looks reasonable to me. I'm CCing the reporter of the bug. Wes, would you be able to test out Fujita's patch linked above?
