Sorry for not getting back earlier. iommu=off on my machine generates
tons & tons of following messages and makes machine almost unusable..
nommu_map_sg: overflow 1da18f000+4096 of device mask ffffffff
nommu_map_sg: overflow 1d5322000+4096 of device mask ffffffff
nommu_map_sg: overflow 1d306f000+4096 of device mask ffffffff
nommu_map_sg: overflow 1dc233000+4096 of device mask ffffffff
nommu_map_sg: overflow 1d9d53000+4096 of device mask ffffffff
nommu_map_sg: overflow 1d5322000+4096 of device mask ffffffff
nommu_map_sg: overflow 1d306f000+4096 of device mask ffffffff
nommu_map_sg: overflow 1da189000+4096 of device mask ffffffff
nommu_map_sg: overflow 1d9d97000+4096 of device mask ffffffff
nommu_map_sg: overflow 1d5322000+4096 of device mask ffffffff
nommu_map_sg: overflow 1d306f000+4096 of device mask ffffffff
I will apply the suggested patch and re-run the test.
Thanks,
Badari
