`BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00000000003a8290` and
the fact it crashed at `_raw_spin_lock_irqsave` look like the memory
(maybe dev->dma_io_tlb_mem) was corrupted?
The dev->dma_io_tlb_mem should be set here
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/pci/probe.c#n2528)
through device_initialize.

I'm less sure about this. 'dma_io_tlb_mem' should be pointing at
'io_tlb_default_mem', which is a page-aligned allocation from memblock.
The spinlock is at offset 0x24 in that structure, and looking at the
register dump from the crash:

Then that correlates with R11 holding the 'dma_io_tlb_mem' pointer and
RDX pointing at the spinlock. Yet RAX is holding junk :/

I agree that enabling KASAN would be a good idea, but I also think we
probably need to get some more information out of swiotlb_tbl_map_single()
to see see what exactly is going wrong in there.

I can certainly enable KASAN and if there is any debug print I can add
or dump anything, let me know!

I bit the bullet and took v5.13 with swiotlb/for-linus-5.14 merged in, built
x86 defconfig and ran it on my laptop. However, it seems to work fine!

Please can you share your .config?

Sure thing, it is attached. It is just Arch Linux's config run through
olddefconfig. The original is below in case you need to diff it.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/9045405dc835527164f3034b3ceb9a67c7a53cd4/trunk/config

If there is anything more that I can provide, please let me know.

I eventually got this booting (for some reason it was causing LD to SEGV
trying to link it for a while...) and sadly it works fine on my laptop. Hmm.

Did you manage to try again with KASAN?

It might also be worth taking the IOMMU out of the equation, since that
interfaces differently with SWIOTLB and I couldn't figure out the code path
from the log you provided. What happens if you boot with "amd_iommu=off
swiotlb=force"?

Oh, now there's a thing... the chat from the IOMMU API in the boot log implies that the IOMMU *should* be in the picture - we see that default domains are IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA default and the GPU 0000:0c:00.0 was added to a group. That means dev->dma_ops should be set and DMA API calls should be going through iommu-dma, yet the callstack in the crash says we've gone straight from dma_map_page_attrs() to swiotlb_map(), implying the inline dma_direct_map_page() path.

If dev->dma_ops didn't look right in the first place, it's perhaps less surprising that dev->dma_io_tlb_mem might be wild as well. It doesn't seem plausible that we should have a race between initialising the device and probing its driver, so maybe the whole dev pointer is getting trampled earlier in the callchain (or is fundamentally wrong to begin with, but from a quick skim of the amdgpu code it did look like adev->dev and adev->pdev are appropriately set early on by amdgpu_pci_probe()).

(although word of warning here: i915 dies horribly on my laptop if I pass
swiotlb=force, even with the distro 5.10 kernel)

FWIW I'd imagine you probably need to massively increase the SWIOTLB buffer size to have hope of that working.

Robin.
