[PATCH] iommu/amd: Skip non-IVMD entries when parsing IVRS memory definitions
From: Akshay Jindal
Date: Sun Oct 18 2026 - 03:46:54 EST
init_memory_definitions() walks every top-level subtable including the
IVHD blocks (type 0x10/0x11/0x40) in the IVRS ACPI table. It interprets
each one as a 'struct ivmd_header', solely on m->flags, without first
checking that the subtable's type actually is one of the IVMD types
(ACPI_IVMD_TYPE, ACPI_IVMD_TYPE_ALL, ACPI_IVMD_TYPE_RANGE).
if (m->flags & (IVMD_FLAG_UNITY_MAP | IVMD_FLAG_EXCL_RANGE))
init_unity_map_range(m, table);
IVMD_FLAG_UNITY_MAP (0x01) occupies the same bit position as the IVHD
flags field's HtTunEn bit. Unlike real hardware, QEMU's AMD IOMMU
emulation sets HtTunEn unconditionally (flags=0xD1 for type 0x10,
0x11 for type 0x11), so every QEMU-emitted IVHD block is misidentified
as a unity-map/exclusion-range IVMD entry, which subsequently results
in the creation of a bogus pci segment. Eg:
AMD-Vi: PCI segment : 0x4000, last bdf : 0x0000
Fix by checking the subtable's type before treating it as IVMD.

Testing:
========
- Reproduced via amd_iommu_dump=1 on a QEMU multi-IOMMU (pxb-pcie)
topology; confirmed "PCI segment : 0x4000, last bdf : 0x0000"
no longer appears after the fix.
- Verified IVHD device-entry parsing (DEV_SELECT/RANGE/SPECIAL) is
unaffected by diffing amd_iommu_dump=1 output before/after.
- Booted real hardware (IVHD flags=0xB0, HtTunEn clear) to confirm
no regression; this bug was not observable there to begin with.
