Before cacheinfo can be built correctly, we need to initialize level
and type. Since RSIC-V currently does not have a register group that
describes cache-related attributes like ARM64, we cannot obtain them
directly, so now we obtain cache leaves from the ACPI PPTT table
(acpi_get_cache_info()) and set the cache type through split_levels.

AFAIK the purpose of idx here it to assure that the number of cache
leaves is not overflowing. But right below we are utilizing two of them
at once, so this check isn't correct. OTOH, since its allocated as
levels + split_levels I don't think its actually possible for this to
cause a problem. Might be worthwhile to just hoist it before the loop
and revalidate the total leaves about to be utilized.


I think I was suggesting something along the lines of:

BUG_ON((split_levels > fw_levels) || (split_levels + fw_levels > this_cpu_ci->num_leaves));

Then removing idx entirely. ex:

for (; level <= this_cpu_ci->num_levels; level++)
..

Do you mean to modify the logic as follows to make it more complete?
Sure that is one way to do it, but then you need to probably repeat the idx check:
for (idx = 0; level <= this_cpu_ci->num_levels &&
idx < this_cpu_ci->num_leaves; level++) {
if (level <= split_levels) {
ci_leaf_init(this_leaf++, CACHE_TYPE_DATA, level);
idx++;
if (idx >= this_cpu_ci->num_leaves) break;
ci_leaf_init(this_leaf++, CACHE_TYPE_INST, level);
idx++;
} else {
ci_leaf_init(this_leaf++, CACHE_TYPE_UNIFIED, level);
idx++;
}
}
