IO_PAGE_FAULTS with igb or igbvf on AMD IOMMU system

Hi,

I am trying to use an Intel 82576 NIC on an AMD IOMMU system with
SR-IOV. When I load the igb module with max_vfs=1 to enable a virtual
function I get IO_PAGE_FAULTS from the virtual functions. The relevant
part of dmesg is:

The devices (physical and virtual) are not operational after this. I
think this is a problem in the igb or igbvf driver. The addresses
reported in the IO_PAGE_FAULTS are system-ram addresses are were not
handed out by the AMD IOMMU driver (the driver only hands out DMA
handles below 4GB). Also the reported domain is 0 which means that the
driver for that device has not yet issued _any_ call to the DMA-API. But
the device is doing an DMA write request (as seen in the flags). Any
ideas? Also let me know if you need any additional information.

Thanks,

Joerg
