When the device-TLB invalidation (ATS invalidation) timeout happens, the qi_submit_sync() will restart and loop for the invalidation request forever till it is done, it will block another invalidation thread such as the fq_timer to issue invalidation request, cause the system lockup as following [exception RIP: native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+92] RIP: ffffffffa9d1025c RSP: ffffb202f268cdc8 RFLAGS: 00000002 RAX: 0000000000000101 RBX: ffffffffab36c2a0 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffffffffab36c2a0 RBP: ffffffffab36c2a0 R8: 0000000000000001 R9: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000010 R11: 0000000000000018 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 0000000000000004 R14: ffff9e10d71b1c88 R15: ffff9e10d71b1980 ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffffff CS: 0010 SS: 0018 --- --- (the left part of exception see the hotplug case of ATS capable device) If one endpoint device just no response to the device-TLB invalidation request, but is not gone, it will bring down the whole system, to avoid such case, don't try the timeout device-TLB request forever. and as synchronous program model of current qi_submit_sync() implementation we couldn't wait for the enough time as PCIe spec said 1min+50%, just break it in current sync model.
