Subject: BUG cxgb3: Check and handle the dma mapping errors
Date: Mon, 05 Aug 2013 12:59:04 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51FF14F8.7000204@ozlabs.ru> (raw)

Hi!

Recently I started getting multiple errors like this:

cxgb3 0006:01:00.0: iommu_alloc failed, tbl c000000003067980 vaddr
c000001fbdaaa882 npages 1
cxgb3 0006:01:00.0: iommu_alloc failed, tbl c000000003067980 vaddr

cxgb3 0006:01:00.0: iommu_alloc failed, tbl c000000003067980 vaddr
c000001fbdaaa882 npages 1
cxgb3 0006:01:00.0: iommu_alloc failed, tbl c000000003067980 vaddr
c000001fbdaaa882 npages 1
cxgb3 0006:01:00.0: iommu_alloc failed, tbl c000000003067980 vaddr
c000001fbdaaa882 npages 1
... and so on

This is all happening on a PPC64 "powernv" platform machine. To trigger the
error state, it is enough to _flood_ ping CXGB3 card from another machine
(which has Emulex 10Gb NIC + Cisco switch). Just do "ping -f 172.20.1.2"
and wait 10-15 seconds.


The messages are coming from arch/powerpc/kernel/iommu.c and basically
mean that the driver requested more pages than the DMA window has which is
normally 1GB (there could be another possible source of errors -
ppc_md.tce_build callback - but on powernv platform it always succeeds).


The patch after which it broke is:
commit f83331bab149e29fa2c49cf102c0cd8c3f1ce9f9

cxgb3: Check and handle the dma mapping errors

Any quick ideas? Thanks!
