There's a series of bugfix that's been accepted:

However, The series is making the driver poke into IOMMU internals instead of
implementing appropriate IOMMU workarounds. After discussion, the series was reverted:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/commit/?id=249cfa318fb1b77eb726c2ff4f74c9685f04e568

But only two patches are related to the IOMMU.
Other patches involve only the modification of the driver.
This series resends other patches.
Hi Jijie Shao,

Cover letters for patch-sets for Networking do make it into git history,
e.g. This cover letter [1] became this commit [2]. So please consider a
subject that will be more meaningful there.

e.g. [PATCH net v2 0/7] net: hns3: implement IOMMU workarounds


Okay, no problem. I'll pay more attention to this.

Thanks
Jijie Shao
