the imfamous asix ax88179 iommu error

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I just saw a post about VIA controllers triggering IOMMU errors.


Just want to also point out that the ax88179 will also trigger PTE read
errors when using the vendor's driver.

I'm nowhere near an expert but I remember seeing that 'TD fragment' is
supported now or some such, which I take to mean that sg/tso should be
supported with usbnet ?

I'm unclear on whether it can ever work with intel hosts because of an
errata ?

Anyway for anyone that wants to see the error you can grab the vendor
driver:

http://www.asix.com.tw/FrootAttach/driver/AX88179_178A_LINUX_DRIVER_v1.18.0_SOURCE.tar.bz2


This driver was working recently-ish perhaps around the same time the
VIA controllers starting having iommu issues.


Regards,


Will
