[PATCH] iommu/amd: Enhance "Command buffer timeout" error message
From: Dheeraj Kumar Srivastava
Date: Sun Oct 18 2026 - 08:41:54 EST
Current IOMMU driver prints "Command buffer timeout" error message with
insufficient information to further debug the issue.
Enhance the error message as follows:
1. Log the IOMMU PCI device ID in the error message.
2. With the "amd_iommu_dump=1" kernel command line option, dump the
entire command buffer entries, including the Head and Tail offsets.
Consolidate the timeout logging and the command buffer dump into a
single helper and use DO_ONCE_LITE() to dump the command buffer only
once to avoid dmesg spam. While at it, apply the same reporting to the
completion-wait timeout path as well.
