[PATCH] iommu/amd: Do not reallocate GA log buffers on resume

From: Karl Mehltretter

Date: Tue Aug 18 2026 - 23:28:45 EST


Commit c5e1a1eb9279 ("iommu/amd: Simplify and Consolidate Virtual APIC
(AVIC) Enablement") moved the GA log allocation from iommu_init_pci()
to enable_iommus_vapic(), which is called on every resume.

iommu_init_ga_log() assigns iommu->ga_log and iommu->ga_log_tail
unconditionally. Each resume therefore replaces the boot-time pointers
and leaks both old allocations. The function also uses GFP_KERNEL from a
syscore resume callback, where interrupts are disabled and the non-boot
CPUs are offline.

Return early if both buffers are already allocated. Clear the pointers
in free_ga_log() so a partial allocation failure cannot leave ga_log
dangling.

Tested with custom QEMU with GA log emulation. Stock QEMU does not
advertise GAMSup and cannot reach this path. After five pm_test=core
cycles, nr_iommu_pages increased from 17 to 25 without the patch.

Testing on AVIC-capable hardware would be welcome.
