[PATCH v2 1/2] x86/amd_node: Avoid divide by zero on virtualized systems

From: Jason Andryuk

Date: Fri Aug 14 2026 - 17:44:13 EST


On a virtualized system, the number of nodes does not have a
relationship to the number of roots. A Xen PVH dom0 can calculate
roots_per_node as 0, which crashes with a divide by zero in:

if (count++ % roots_per_node)

The issue is seen with Xen, but it could affect other systems.

Change roots_per_node == 0 to 1 to allow the system to boot. Print a
warning when this is performed for non-virtualized systems.

v2:
Print as a warning instead of error
Use "!" instead of "== 0".

X86_FEATURE_XENPV is only for PV, but this is observed with a PVH dom0.
