In your log, it seems something incorrect while copying pages.
Your last DMAR fault is:
DMAR:[fault reason 01] Present bit in root entry is clear
But this time, it is:
DMAR:[fault reason 05] PTE Write access is not set
So I think this line I added to this version , it works.
function intel_iommu_load_translation_tables, line:
__iommu_flush_cache(iommu, iommu->root_entry, PAGE_SIZE);
I checked the code, found I missed one flush in function copy_page_table.
How do you think we add one flush after this lines:
ret = copy_page_table(&dma_pte_next,
(p->val & VTD_PAGE_MASK),
shift-9, page_addr | (u << shift),
iommu, bus, devfn, dve, ppap);
+ __iommu_flush_cache(iommu, phys_to_virt(dma_pte_next),
+ VTD_PAGE_SIZE);
If this does not work, I have no ideas currently, need to dig the code more.
Regards
Zhenhua

Unfortunately DMAR fault still occurs with this patch...
I attach console log.
