From 9af88143b277f52fc6ce0d69137f435c73c39c1a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2009 23:18:03 +0000 Subject: iommu: fix Intel IOMMU write-buffer flushing This is the cause of the DMA faults and disk corruption that people have been seeing. Some chipsets neglect to report the RWBF "capability" -- the flag which says that we need to flush the chipset write-buffer when changing the DMA page tables, to ensure that the change is visible to the IOMMU. Override that bit on the affected chipsets, and everything is happy again. Thanks to Chris and Bhavesh and others for helping to debug.
