Hi,

Broadcom ethernet tg3 unusable after commit 92d420ec028d ("iommu/amd: Relax 
locking in dma_ops path").
After a short period it stops:
[  122.717144] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at net/sched/sch_generic.c:303 
dev_watchdog+0x237/0x240()
[  122.717152] NETDEV WATCHDOG: enp3s0 (tg3): transmit queue 0 timed out

After testing the patch section by section, this is the part that caused the 
regression:

@@ -2578,19 +2580,8 @@ static dma_addr_t map_page(struct device *dev, struct 
page *page,
 
        dma_mask = *dev->dma_mask;
 
-       spin_lock_irqsave(&domain->lock, flags);
-
-       addr = __map_single(dev, domain->priv, paddr, size, dir, false,
+       return __map_single(dev, domain->priv, paddr, size, dir, false,
                            dma_mask);
-       if (addr == DMA_ERROR_CODE)
-               goto out;
-
-       domain_flush_complete(domain);
-
-out:
-       spin_unlock_irqrestore(&domain->lock, flags);
-
-       return addr;
 }

Particularly, as soon as the spinlock is removed, the issue can be reproduced.
Function domain_flush_complete() doesn't seem to affect the status.

However, the .map_page callback was removed by be62dbf554c5 ("iommu/amd: 
Convert AMD iommu driver to the dma-iommu api"), so there's no easy revert for 
this issue.

This is still reproducible as of today's mainline kernel, v5.7-rc6.
