commit 2c8a7c66c90832432496616a9a3c07293f1364f3 upstream.
On the Lenovo ThinkPad X201, when Intel VT-d is enabled in the BIOS, the kernel boots with errors related to DMAR, the graphical interface appeared quite choppy, and the system resets erratically within a minute after it booted:
DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3 DMAR: [DMA Write NO_PASID] Request device [00:02.0] fault addr 0xb97ff000 [fault reason 0x05] PTE Write access is not set
Upon comparing boot logs with VT-d on/off, I found that the Intel Calpella quirk (`quirk_calpella_no_shadow_gtt()') correctly applied the igfx IOMMU disable/quirk correctly:
pci 0000:00:00.0: DMAR: BIOS has allocated no shadow GTT; disabling IOMMU for graphics
Whereas with VT-d on, it went into the "else" branch, which then triggered the DMAR handling fault above:
... else if (!disable_igfx_iommu) { /* we have to ensure the gfx device is idle before we flush */ pci_info(dev, "Disabling batched IOTLB flush on Ironlake\n"); iommu_set_dma_strict(); }
Now, this is not exactly scientific, but moving 0x0044 to quirk_iommu_igfx seems to have fixed the aforementioned issue. Running a few `git blame' runs on the function, I have found that the quirk was originally introduced as a fix specific to ThinkPad X201:
commit 9eecabcb9a92 ("intel-iommu: Abort IOMMU setup for igfx if BIOS gave no shadow GTT space")
Which was later revised twice to the "else" branch we saw above:
- 2011: commit 6fbcfb3e467a ("intel-iommu: Workaround IOTLB hang on Ironlake GPU") - 2024: commit ba00196ca41c ("iommu/vt-d: Decouple igfx_off from graphic identity mapping")
I'm uncertain whether further testings on this particular laptops were done in 2011 and (honestly I'm not sure) 2024, but I would be happy to do some distro-specific testing if that's what would be required to verify this patch.
P.S., I also see IDs 0x0040, 0x0062, and 0x006a listed under the same `quirk_calpella_no_shadow_gtt()' quirk, but I'm not sure how similar these chipsets are (if they share the same issue with VT-d or even, indeed, if this issue is specific to a bug in the Lenovo BIOS). With regards to 0x0062, it seems to be a Centrino wireless card, but not a chipset?
I have also listed a couple (distro and kernel) bug reports below as references (some of them are from 7-8 years ago!), as they seem to be similar issue found on different Westmere/Ironlake, Haswell, and Broadwell hardware setups.
