Subject: 2.6.25 DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space - Asus M2N32 AMD 8GB memory
Message from /etc/syslog:
[1] Aug 21 11:01:19 jondo kernel: [174628.275859] DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space for 65536 bytes at device 0000:00:0d.0
My AMD freezes with Kernel 2.6.25 has experienced regular freezing so
that only power button can take the system down. This is alarming,
because the system can stay up only a few days.
I've spent countless of hours reading related "Out of SW-IOMMU space"
(Google) documents. For some people they have worked, for some they
haven't and there has not been any clear explanation what options
whould/should be used in what chipsets/MBs and why.
I've gone through various combinations of kernel boot options, but
nothing seems to completely solve the problem:
iommu=soft swiotlb=65536
Freezing continued, but the disk corruption did not happen any more.
Increasing the swiotlb value has not had helped.
iommu=soft,memaper=3 swiotlb=65536
Adding memaper did not help. "Out of SW-IOMMU space" messages [see
1] creept in and I'm preparing to see another freeze eventally.
iommu=noaperture
Same as above. Not progress.
iommu=noagp,noaperture swiotlb=512M
Current options that I use. They were giving hope for 2 days,
but then a single "Out of SW-IOMMU space" message appeared. I'm
afraid the freeze is about to come.
Should I try following options next? or just "iommu=off"?
iommu=noagp,noaperture,off swiotlb=512M
===
I don't understand enough what are the effects related to the MCP55 SATA
Controller which seems to be the target [See 1; based on device id
"00:0d.0"] of these IOMMU messages. Only the plain SATA connectors, not
the onboard RAID SATA connectors, are in use for the harddisk.
To best of my knowledge going through this motherboard:
- Asus award bios does not have setting related to IOMMU. I'm using the
latest bios 2001 from www.asus.com
- has no aperture setting in bios.
- has no AGP, only PCI and CPIe slots.
My arsenal of knowledge is exhausting, so please, if you have any
insight what could be examined further or what could be done to solve
the IOMMU problem, let me know.
