Interesting. The problem affects all kernels up to and including
v4.19.y. Unlike I thought initially, the problem is not associated
with the SCSI controller (that was coincidental) but with pcnet
Ethernet interfaces. It has been fixed in the upstream kernel with
commit 518a2f1925c3 ("dma-mapping: zero memory returned from
dma_alloc_*"). This patch does not apply cleanly to any of the
affected kernels. I backported part of it to v4.19.y and v4.9.y
and confirmed that it fixes the problem in those branches.
Question is what we should do: try to backport 518a2f1925c3 to v4.19.y
and earlier, or stop testing against this specific problem.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks,
Guenter
