Hi All,

We still have DMA problems with some PCI devices. Since the PowerPC updates 4.21-1 [1] we need to decrease the RAM to 3500MB (mem=3500M) if we want to work with our PCI devices. The FSL P5020 and P5040 have these problems currently.

Error message:

[   25.654852] bttv 1000:04:05.0: overflow 0x00000000fe077000+4096 of DMA mask ffffffff bus mask df000000

All 5.x Linux kernels can't initialize a SCSI PCI card anymore so booting of a Linux userland isn't possible.

PLEASE check the DMA changes in the PowerPC updates 4.21-1 [1]. The kernel 4.20 works with all PCI devices without limitation of RAM.

We created a bug report a month ago. [2]

Thanks,
Christian
