I tried the provided patches first on 2.6.32, then I verfied with 3.8-rc2
and in both cases the disk is not detected anymore in
reset_devices (kexec'ed/kdump) case (but things work fine without these
patches).
So the problem that the disk is not detected was caused by exactmap
problem you guys are discussing? Or still not detected even if exactmap
problem is fixed?
This problem is related to the 5 PCI resetting patches.
Dumping worked with a 2.6.32 and a 3.8-rc2 kernel, adding the PCI resetting
patches broke both. I first tried 2.6.32 and verified with 3.8-rc2 to make sure
I didn't mess up the backport adjustings of the patches to 2.6.32.
Unfortunately this Dell platform takes really long to boot.
I can give it the one or other test, but please do not bomb me with patches.
For info:
About the interrupt remapping error interrupt storm in kdump case I tried to
reproduce on this machine, but never could: The guys who saw that also cannot
reproduce this anymore.
Two ideas I had about this:
- As said already, (also) try to catch the error case and try to reset the
the device in AER/Specific iterrupt remapping error interrupt caught.
I tried this idea but it did not work on megaraid_sas.
I made a experimental patch so that devices are reset when DMAR error is
detected on it. What happened is that:
1) megaraid_sas module is loaded.
2) DMAR error is detected during the driver initialization.
This driver does something bad that IOMMU code isn't designed for,
or handle correctly -- it starts with one dma-mask, does an IOMMU mapping,
changes its dma-mask, and that moves it into another domain that's not
valid for the first mask.... and does occassional access with original mask.
I have it on my to-do list to dig into the driver more to see if that
sequence can be changed/fixed.
3) Reset device
4) kdump fails because the disk is not found.
When I tested patches which reset all devices in early boot time, the
disk was recognized correctly, so it seems that device reset during its
driver loading does something wrong. I think we need reset device at
driver rest, or master-enable turned off ?
I have another patch to turn off busmaster bit in early quirk, but after
driver loading DMAR error is still detected as follows. This may be
driver problem as you said above.

least before its driver is loaded.
Thanks,

- Have a look at coreboot, these guys should know how to initialize the PCI
subsystem from scratch and might have some well tested PCI resetting
code in place already (no idea, just a thought).
