Hi Mark,

It looks like this problem is NOT a bug with the SCSI aic7xxx driver
after all. I can duplicate this BUG very easily with other hardware.
Simply removing a driver module (whether it its self, has actually
used any of the DMA API or not) that is sitting on the same pci bus
as a card that is actually using DMA will cause this. And that card
that is in use and using DMA will no longer function. It "looks and
feels" like unloading a module causes the IOMMU to improperly unmap
valid mappings.

You are right, I looked into the code and found the problem. I'll post a
fix for testing this week.


I'll be happy to test it.

Mark
