Network transferts crash with SW-IOMMU space messages

[Typhoe]

Hi,

when transferring around more than 1Go of data using the ethernet controller (04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit Ethernet (rev c0)) with driver atl1c , my syslog gets full of messages "DMA: out of SW-IOMMU space for 4096 bytes at device 04:00.0" and my ethernet connection stops working.
To reproduce this problem, I simply copy a few files from my internal SSD to my NAS.

The byte size of the messages varies if I then try to access internet with my browser or any other network oriented application (smaller packets?)...

sudo lspci -s 04:00.0 -vv
