From: Qian Cai <cai@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 944c9175397476199d4dd1028d87ddc582c35ee8 ] When running heavy memory pressure workloads, this 5+ old system is throwing endless warnings below because disk IO is too slow to recover from swapping. Since the volume from alloc_iova_fast() could be large, once it calls printk(), it will trigger disk IO (writing to the log files) and pending softirqs which could cause an infinite loop and make no progress for days by the ongoimng memory reclaim. This is the counter part for Intel where the AMD part has already been merged. See the commit 3d708895325b ("iommu/amd: Silence warnings under memory pressure"). Since the allocation failure will be reported in intel_alloc_iova(), so just call dev_err_once() there because even the "ratelimited" is too much, and silence the one in alloc_iova_mem() to avoid the expensive warn_alloc(). hpsa 0000:03:00.0: DMAR: Allocating 1-page iova failed hpsa 0000:03:00.0: DMAR: Allocating 1-page iova failed hpsa 0000:03:00.0: DMAR: Allocating 1-page iova failed hpsa
