Upgraded firmware on mellanox infiniband connectx hardware and got following spam in system log. [ 1680.962538] DRHD: handling fault status reg 302 [ 1680.967048] DMAR:[DMA Read] Request device [04:00.6] fault addr f647a000 [ 1680.967049] DMAR:[fault reason 02] Present bit in context entry is clear This also broke infiniband on f13/f14 machines. I used the iommu workaround described above, and infiniband now works.
