On x86 architecture supporting VT-d, the IOMMU manages the access control policy between the hardware devices and some

To ensure that iommu=force
is added as a kernel command line
argument to newly installed kernels, add iommu=force

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="... iommu=force ..."
Run the following command to update command line for already installed kernels:# update-grub
