A tangential idea, as Will just suggested to me, would be to make this 
false-positive situation more explicit, something like (untested):
---8<---
--->8---

but it seems like this a sufficiently rare case that it's probably not 
worth cluttering up the code for.

What was the eventual followup/fix for this? We're seeing similar traces
to this during internal testing of 4.11 kernels.

A quick hack is to change arch/arm64/mm/dma-mapping.c:dma_debug_do_init()
from fs_initcall() to arch_initcall().

However, then you loose the debugfs features. A proper fix would involve
splitting dma_debug_init() in two phases: an early one doing the real work,
and a late one registering the debugfs interface.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

The IOMMU probe-deferral patches queued for the current merge window get
rid of the need for early device creation bodges that cause the problem
(of IOMMU pagetables being mapped for DMA before dma-debug is up and
running). In the meantime, I'd suggest either adjusting the initcall
level per 256ff1cf6b44, or turning off the IOMMU driver and/or using
dma-debug's driver-filter option if you're doing more targeted debugging.
