I got an IOMMU IO page fault. What to do now?

[Paul Menzel]

Dear Linux folks,


On a Dell OptiPlex 5055, Linux 5.10.24 logged the IOMMU messages below. 
(GPU hang in amdgpu issue #1762 [1] might be related.)

As this is not reproducible, how would debugging go? (The system was 
rebooted in the meantime.) What options should be enabled, that next 
time the required information is logged, or what commands should I 
execute when the system is still in that state, so the bug (driver, 
userspace, …) can be pinpointed and fixed?


Kind regards,

Paul
