Not using it seems to prevent the warning, but before 3.14 i have never seen this (with r8169.use_dac=1)

If you are still hitting this with the patch:

  59f2e7df574c dma-debug: fix overlap detection

...then I'm more inclined to think it is an actual positive report.

If you don't mind I'll send some debug patches to narrow this down.
Please do .. sounds better than bisecting :-)
Hi, attached is a patch that should give some insight whether the
driver is triggering many overlapping mappings.  Try it on top of
3.14-rc1.
Thank you for the debug help!
Hi Dan,

Nifty feature the trace_printk .. however is there a way to limit the list it's spitting out
to what you are interesting in ?

At present the machine chokes while trying to spit out everything in one go and:
- it probably not of all of it is logged to disk because of all the rcu stalls and other problems it causes.
- the list on console at least looked a lot longer (and in the logs i don't see the original warn_on which should
  be just before the dump.

However .. attached is what i have got ...
