Hopefully I can get their attention in this list. Should I try to email them directly?

If you want to get the patch into the kernel, ask the mantainers: Tobias Powalowski, Jan Alexander Steffens and David Runge.

Hello, after the recent linux kernel update I started to get a lot of errors on dmesg when starting a virtual machine, I'm passing through a gpu to it. The gist of the error spam is this

Here's the full dmesg log, too big for pasting sites: https://cloud.vin.ovh/s/3TpSgCgYs9oq9jY

I started to look around for this error messages and found the following mailing list.

https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg4097048.html

First it proposed a patch to silence those error messages as they aren't lethal but after some research another patch was proposed which actually solved the issue I think.

https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2021-October/059955.html

It is quite small and it seems that it didn't get the required attention. I added the patch to the linux PKGBUILD and the errors no longer appear. Is there a possibility to add that patch to the linux package? Don't really want to build the kernel every time it is updated.
