I started seeing this problem after updating the BIOS trying fix another issue,
though I may have missed it earlier.
I understand this is a BIOS bug. Would be great if someone can pass this on
to Intel BIOS engineers.
CPU is i7-4770K.

The BIOS is saying there's a DMAR unit, and then saying the registers are at addr 0x0. The kernel is simply warning you about the invalid DMAR table entry. One thing I've seen is the BIOS zeroing the base register address when VT-d is disabled in BIOS. So, Guenter, a "fix" may be simply enabling VT-d in the BIOS. thanks, -chris ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 24+ messages in thread

Bottom line, the BIOS is providing what we're seeing as invalid tables. If it's a BIOS attempt to disable VT-d is hard to glean from invalid tables, and not all BIOS give interface to enable/disable VT-d. It is a warning message, BTW.

Keep in mind that a casual user doesn't expect to see a traceback and will tend to get alarmed.

The BIOS is broken in a way so that we can't use the IOMMU in Linux. We can patch away the WARN_ON and make it a sumple FW_BUG message, but the noise a WARN_ON makes maybe help getting this issue fixed. But I may be convinced otherwise, if people think this WARN_ON is not worth it. Joerg ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 24+ messages in thread
