The kdump starts 2nd kernel without any error message when I use
3.18.0-rc4 merged last 6 patchs. The following is the message which 2nd
kernel prints during booting.

[Li, ZhenHua]

Minfei,
Thanks for your testing.
On my system, I got error messages:

[    8.019096] usb usb2: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=2, 
SerialNumber=1

And this patch can fix this.


The reason you do not get error messages may be there is no ongoing DMA
request on your PCI devices when kdump kernel boots, I am not sure of
this.

I think Minfei means he applied this patch, so no error message is got.
The patches he listed includes this one:

0006-x86-iommu-fix-incorrect-bit-operations-in-setting-va.patch

Hi Zhenhua, 

Below is abstracted from Joerg's comments which he and David discussed
and get to this conclusion. So the 1st step is the same as your patches,
how do you think the 2nd step?

	1. If the VT-d driver finds the IOMMU enabled, it reuses its
           root-context table. This way the IOMMU must not be disabled
           and re-enabled, eliminating the race we have now.
           Other data structures like the context-entries are copied
           over from the old kernel.  We basically keep all mappings
           from the old kernel, allowing any in-flight DMA to succeed.
           No memory or disk data corruption.
           The issue here is, that we modify data from the old kernel
           which is about to be dumped. But there are ways to work
           around that.

        2. When a device driver issues the first dma_map command for a
           device, we assign a new and empty page-table, thus removing
           all mappings from the old kernel for the device.
           Rationale is, that at this point the device driver should
           have reset the device to a point where all in-flight DMA is
           canceled.

Thanks
Baoquan

1st step shows we should NOT disable the iommu when it is already 
enabled. But current code does disable-enable. So there is still works 
to do.

I think step 2 is necessary, because when the driver initializes, the 
device need a new map, and the old data from the old kernel can not be 
used for the new driver.

Now I am trying to implement these ideas.

The original kernel does a disable and re-enable , Bill's patchset 
removed the disable operation.
