IOMMU fault may occurr on unbind/bind or if_down/if_up sequence. Although driver disables the rings on down, this is not enough. Due to internal HW design, during subsequent initialization NIC sometimes may reuse RX descriptors cache and write to the host memory from the descriptor cache. That's get catched by IOMMU on host. This patch invalidates the descriptor cache in NIC on interface down to prevent writing to the cached descriptors and to the memory pointed in those descriptors.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
