This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iommu/amd: Initialize device table after dma_ops to the 3.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: iommu-amd-initialize-device-table-after-dma_ops.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From f528d980c17b8714aedc918ba86e058af914d66b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joerg Roedel <joro@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2013 12:55:23 +0100 Subject: iommu/amd: Initialize device table after dma_ops From: Joerg Roedel <joro@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f528d980c17b8714aedc918ba86e058af914d66b upstream. When dma_ops are initialized the unity mappings are created. The init_device_table_dma() function makes sure DMA from all devices is blocked by default. This opens a short window in time where DMA to unity mapped regions is blocked by the IOMMU. Make sure this does not happen by initializing the device table after dma_ops.
