Hi, Robin,

The commit 911aa1245da8 ("iommu/iova: Make the rcache depot scale 
better") can reduce the risks of softlockup, but can not fix it 
entirely. We do solve a softlockup issue[1] with that patch, and that is
why it has aleady been backported in our branch. The softlockup issue 
which we met recently is a 5.10-based kernel with that patch already 
backported, which can be found in [2].

In 6.7-rc4, which has already applied patch  911aa1245da8 ("iommu/iova: 
Make the rcache depot scale better"). We can also get the following
call trace. It seems still existing the issue, and we fix this issue 
using the patch in [3], when the call trace first came up.
