Well, this is the issue discussed in the past several times... The most of SCSI drivers are fine; they can handle IOMMU mapping failure properly or panic. But there are some network drivers that don't even check the failure. Fixing these network drivers has been on my todo list... But as I said before, we ignore this problem; only swiotlb and SBA panic in the case of IOMMU mapping failure. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
