Andre-
Thank you for the detailed report!
Tom-
There is a rich set of trace points available in the RPC/RDMA implementation in 5.4/5.5, fwiw.
Please keep me in the loop, let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

One aspect that may be worth checking is whether there's anywhere that assumes a successful return value from dma_map_sg() is always the same as the number of entries passed in - that's the most obvious way the iommu-dma code differs (legitimately) from the previous amd-iommu implementation.
net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/frwr_ops.c: frwr_map()
317         mr->mr_nents =
318                 ib_dma_map_sg(ia->ri_id->device, mr->mr_sg, i, mr->mr_dir);
319         if (!mr->mr_nents)
320                 goto out_dmamap_err;
Should that rather be "if (mr->mr_nents != i)" ?

No, that much is OK - the point is that dma_map_sg() may pack the DMA addresses such that sg_dma_len(sg) > sg->length - however, subsequently passing that mr->nents to dma_unmap_sg() in frwr_mr_recycle() (rather than the original value of i) looks at a glance like an example of how things may start to get out-of-whack.

Robin, your explanation makes sense to me. I can post a fix for this imbalance later today for Andre to try.

FWIW here's a quick hack which *should* suppress the concatenation behaviour - if it makes Andre's system any happier then that would indeed point towards dma_map_sg() handling being the culprit.

Robin.
