[PATCH 0/10] iommu/vt-d: Fix intel vt-d faults in kdump kernel

Hi Takao Indoh,

Happy New Year, and thank you very much for you help.  The flush is quite
 a problem,  as there are several places the flush function should be called, 
I think the flush should be placed in functions like __iommu_update_old_*.  
Created a small patch for this, it is attached.



As I cannot reproduce your problems on my system, so could you please try 
these steps?
1. Apply the latest patchset, including 9/10 and 10/10, and then apply the 
attached patch_for_flush.patch.  And then test the kernel.

2.  If 1 does not fix the DMAR fault  problems, then it might be caused by 
7/10, so please *unpatch* it from the kernel (others and the  attached one
should be patched), and then test the kernel.

Regards
Zhenhua
