Subject: [PATCH 0/2] amd-iommu: kdump bugfix and couple defensive cleanups

The following patches fix a kdump issue and then fix some similar
initialization issues that haven't proven to be problematic but make
good sense anyway.

thanks,

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] amd-iommu: fix issues with kdump

When kexec'ing to a new kernel (for example, when crashing and launching a
kdump session), the AMD IOMMU may have cached translations. The kexec'd
kernel, during initialization, will invalidate the IOMMU device table
entries, but not the domain translations. These stale entries can cause
a device's DMA to fail, makes it rough to write a dump to disk when the
disk controller can't DMA ;-) Just invalidating the iommu pages should
be enough, however the old kernel left the IOMMU enabled and running.
In particular, the command buffer doesn't seem to work properly after
it's been updated while active. Unlike the event log buffer which is
documented to have undefined behaviour when updated while enabled,
the documentation doesn't specify for the command buffer. However,
disabling the command buffer before updating the IOMMU w/ new command
buffer and re-enabling is sufficient to ensure future commands are picked
up an processed properly, especially those critical invalidations.

Issue found here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=504751, but
this also fixes current (2.6.30) Linux kernel.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] amd-iommu: initialization fixes

If the kernel in initialized w/out coming out of reset (e.g. kexec/kdump), the
prior kernel may leave the IOMMU running. Here's some fixes just to
ensure all initialization is done in a sane manner.

1) disable IOMMU when discovered, will get renabled after it's set up
2) disable event log handling while setting up the event log buffer.
the spec says:
Software Note: If EventLen or EventBase is changed while the
EventLogRun=1, the IOMMU behavior is undefined.
3) ensure the head/tail event log buffer pointers are initialized to zero

The patches look good but are based on 2.6.30. For 2.6.31-rc1 they must
be changed a bit because some functions implemented in these patches
were already merged for the suspen/resume support in amd-iommu driver.
I will adapt them for 2.6.31. Do you want to send these patches for
-stable inclusion?

Yes, I meant to mark at least 1/2 "Cc: [email protected]".
