Hi Robin,

I re-fetched the latest patches on

https://gitlab.arm.com/linux-arm/linux-rm/-/commits/iommu/bus

and rolled back the head to "iommu: Cleanup bus_set_iommu".

The test machine still hangs during boot.

I went through the code. It seems that the .probe_device for Intel IOMMU
driver can't handle the probe replay well. It always assumes that the
device has never been probed.

Hmm, but probe_iommu_group() is supposed to prevent the __iommu_probe_device() call even happening if the device *has* already been probed before :/

I've still got an old Intel box spare in the office so I'll rig that up and see if I can see what might be going on here...

OK, on a Xeon with two DMAR units, this seems to boot OK with or without patch #1, so it doesn't seem to be a general problem with replaying in iommu_device_register(), or with platform devices. Not sure where to go from here... :/

Cheers,
Robin.
