When the ATS Invalidation request 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 ATS Invalidation request, but is not gone, it will bring down the whole system, to avoid such case, don't try the timeout ATS Invalidation request forever.
