Looking at the bugs, its hard to say exactly whats going on. The sky2 case looks like it should have easily found the hash bucket it needed (Juding by the nice page aligned address for the dma rangs 0x0000000105258040), but the tg3 case looks like the dma address is just bogus (from bz 7451005, the device address is 0x00000000d1668988, which doesn't look like anything a dma engine or iotlb should return as a dma address. It might mean that tg3 is breaking up operations on its allocated dma ranges, which would cause this kind of warning, but I cant' see where thats happening. My first suggestion would be to, if you are able, instrument (via printk or stap), get_hash_bucket and hash_bucket_find, so as to dump out the entire hash table to the console when the failure occurs. I know that will cause lots of performance issues, but if this can be reproduced in a non-production environment, it would let us at least see if we're just not finding the right entry, or if the right entry doesn't exist.
