The first thing I can imagine is that there are in fact no (free) slots
in the SWIOTLB which match the alignment constraints, so the map
operation fails. However, this would result in a "swiotlb buffer is
full" message in the log, and I can see no such message in the log
excerpt you have posted.

Please, can you check if there are any "swiotlb" messages preceding the
first error message?
