I saw Lu replied, and he is much more knowledgable than I am (I was just
intrigued by your email).

However, if I were you I would try also to remove some “optimizations” to
look for the root-cause (e.g., use domain specific invalidations instead
of page-specific).

The first thing that comes to my mind is the invalidation hint (ih) in
iommu_flush_iotlb_psi(). I would remove it to see whether you get the
failure without it.
