Did you repro any bug related to this? The functionality is perhaps
underspecified in the AMD manual.
TBH, I don't have a reproducer yet. Just LLM stumbled upon this while
I was investigating another memory corruption issue [1].

What hardware are you running on?
That looks like the Zen5 issue, for which you want either the latest
microcode out of linux-firmware and/or

TCE is a no-op in Zen1 and later, so unless you're on older hardware, it
won't be that.
Just to clarify ... these are two separate issues.
I mentioned [1] only to explain how this came up while investigating
something else. I'm not claiming that TCE caused the corruption reported
there :)
Please can you answer the question. Which CPU are you seeing this on?
Which CPU? None so far. As I said, I don't have a reproducer. I'm trying
to make sense of what the manual says and what the code does ...
