[PATCH v2 0/2] iommu/vt-d bad RMRR workarounds

[Barret Rhoden]

Commit f036c7fa0ab6 ("iommu/vt-d: Check VT-d RMRR region in BIOS is
reported as reserved") caused a machine to fail to boot for me, but only
after a kexec.

Buggy firmware provided an RMRR entry with base and end both == 0.  That
is an invalid RMRR format, and only happens to pass the RMRR sanity
check.  After a kexec, that entry fails the RMRR sanity check, due to a
slight change in the first e820 mapping.  See the v1 link for details.

v1->v2:
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191211194606.87940-1-brho@xxxxxxxxxx/
- Added the TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND
- Dropped the commit that treated missing e820 regions as "RMRR OK"


Barret Rhoden (2):
  iommu/vt-d: skip RMRR entries that fail the sanity check
  iommu/vt-d: skip invalid RMRR entries
