It is known issue fixed in upstream and in stable 2.6.20.2 kernel by patch "Missing critical phys_to_virt in lib/swiotlb.c": http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.20.y.git;a=commit;h=e16b67f9a0ac6d9f89f680b7f3b439abfb1dac5e http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/4/116 Thanks to AltLinux kernel Team for assistance in the bug reproducing and investigation. -- Additional comment from riel on 2007-08-03 18:54 EST -- A trivial fix for a bug that blocks people with certain hardware configurations from running RHEL. This one needs to go in soon.
Created attachment 160703 [details] proposed patch
Anton, has this bug been reproduced in RHEL4?
Rik, I can't reproduce this bug, because I haven't necessary hardware for it. Bug was blindly cloned due to Pete Zaitcev request. I've dig it up logically throw the sources, and I believe 2.6.9 kernel has exact the same issue.
Created attachment 160759 [details] proposed patch the same as att#160703, just fixed indentation.
Andrius, the original BZ was for 5.1. When Anton posted the patch to rhkl, Pete Z. suggested that it needs to be fixed in 4.6 as well. Note BTW that the patch is in arch/ia64/lib/swiotlb.c, not megaraid. When the subject of testing the patch came up in rhkl, Anton made the case that this is not necessary because the patch is straight-forward and well understood. Setting devel_ack. This should go in 4.6 as an exception, to avoid system crashes.
