[PATCH v3] ACPI: APEI: EINJ: Fix EINJV2 memory error injection

From: Tony Luck

Date: Thu Apr 16 2026 - 20:11:29 EST


Error types in EINJV2 use different bit positions for each flavor of
injection from legacy EINJ.

Two issues:

1) The address sanity checks in einj_error_inject() were skipped for V2
injections. Noted by sashiko[1]
2) __einj_error_trigger() failed to drop the entry of the target
physical address from the list of resources that need to be
requested.

Add a helper function that checks if an injection is to memory and use it
to solve each of these issues.

Note that the old test in __einj_error_trigger() checked that param2 was
not zero. This isn't needed because the sanity checks in einj_error_inject()
reject memory injections with param2 == 0.

Fixes: b47610296d17 ("ACPI: APEI: EINJ: Enable EINJv2 error injections")
