Have you had a chance to look at this problem? I am still seeing it in
6.13-rc7.

Yes. I have spent some time on this, but I haven't yet figured out a

I tried to add the rcu lock or use the dmar_global_lock instead, but
neither proved successful. Perhaps it's time to reconsider the locking
scheme for those lists.

Thanks,
