Hi All,

Just to give an update on the offline debugging of this issue. With
Robin's patch applied, I was able to reproduce the failure with
similar configuration that Jain helped to set up.

I added trace prints just to see the map/unmap activities leading to
the DMAR fault. When fault occurs, the trace shows there is an unmap to
the offending iova pfn. So I think this is a separate problem than
Robin's patch is fixing. I think we should move forward to merge this
patch upstream and stable. The remaining problem is likely a race
condition between unmap and DMA activities.

Here a brief extracted log, ee3d7 is the iova pfn in question.
