Even if it's going to take two weeks to do (perhaps run a test kernel 
for 4 hours a day) getting a specific commit will be really helpful if 
you're 100% sure it's a failure caused by a kernel change.

I will note that there are some other bug reports that are showing 
generic IOMMU changes earlier this summer that /might/ be similar.

The corruption issue that my team is looking at is specifically with 
NVME and doesn't follow a kernel version.

So it's not a slam dunk to say it's the same.  BUT the issue internally 
does show the issue is specificially once the 32-bit IOVA space is 
exhausted.

Unfortunately; the solution is currently a BIOS change in how the type 
bytes of the IOVA is handled.

But the workaround that Vasant suggested (amd_iommu=pgtbl_v2 
iommu.forcedac=1) will help confirm if it's the exact same failure path.

Without BIOS change issue can't be reproduced with those applied.
