Seems you have CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG, is it really what you want ?

It seems a bit strange we panic in this case
( panic_on_overflow = 1;)

You could try to add iommu=nopanic to your boot command : packet should
be dropped, instead of panic.

config IOMMU_DEBUG
        bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
        depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
        depends on X86_64
        ---help---
          Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
          memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
          allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
          time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
          list merging.  Currently not recommended for production
          code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
          IOMMU/AGP aperture.  Most of the options enabled by this can
          be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
          options. See Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
          details.

That is true, I've enabled CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG.
If I want it? It seems like I don't... :-)

I don't know much about IOMMUs, but if the alternative is trashed memory then
I'm in for it.

panic_on_overflow is set on lines 26--27 of arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma.c along
with force_iommu if CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG is enabled.

I opt for disabling CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG, as it sets force_iommu as well.

If the only consequence of this is stats.tx_dropped being bumped not too
often, that's ok for me.


Thanks for the quick help! :-)
