Hi Yunhui,

When SVPBMT is enabled, __acpi_map_table() will directly access the
data in DDR through the IO attribute, rather than through hardware
cache consistency, resulting in incorrect data in the obtained ACPI
table.

The log: ACPI: [ACPI:0x18] Invalid zero length.

We do not assume whether the bootloader flushes or not. We should
access in a cacheable way instead of maintaining cache consistency
by software.

It makes sense to me since with this, we don't have to care about how the firmware mapped the table. And it mimics all other architectures (arm64, loongarch and x86).

Here is the corresponding fixes tag:

Fixes: 3b426d4b5b14 ("RISC-V: ACPI : Fix for usage of pointers in different address space")

With the corresponding fix in __acpi_unmap_table() as pointed by Sunil, you can add:

And regarding the sparse error, I don't see any other architecture casting to __iomem, so maybe that's not necessary anymore?

Thanks,
