Commits that address it : 1ddb32da4a62 iommu/vt-d: Simplify check in identity_mapping() 96d170f3b1a6 iommu/vt-d: Remove deferred_attach_domain() a11bfde9c77d iommu/vt-d: Do deferred attachment in iommu_need_mapping() 034d98cc0cdc iommu/vt-d: Move deferred device attachment into helper function 1d4615978f52 iommu/vt-d: Add attach_deferred() helper 1ee0186b9a12 iommu/vt-d: Refactor find_domain() helper [TEST CASE] Install a 5.4 kernel, add intel_iommu=on and iommu=pt to grub cmdline and trigger a crash. The crash kernel that boots will crash with trace [1]. [REGRESSION POTENTIAL] 1) 1ee0186b9a12 iommu/vt-d: Refactor find_domain() helper Refactors find_domain() into two helpers: 1) find_domain() only returns the domain in use; 2) deferred_attach_domain() does the deferred domain attachment if required and return the domain in use. 2) 1d4615978f52 iommu/vt-d: Add attach_deferred() helper Add helper function to check if a device's attach process is deffered. Before this commit, this check was done with "dev->archdata.iommu == DEFER_DEVICE_DOMAIN_INFO". This commit wraps it into a function. Fixes (1). 3) 034d98cc0cdc iommu/vt-d: Move deferred device attachment into helper function Takes the code that does the deffered attachment from deferred_attach_domain() function and places it in new do_deferred_attach() function. Fixes (1). 4) a11bfde9c77d iommu/vt-d: Do deferred attachment in iommu_need_mapping() This one actually fixes the bug. Attachement of devive needs to happen before checking if device is identity mapped. Fixes (1). 5) 96d170f3b1a6 iommu/vt-d: Remove deferred_attach_domain() Code cleanup, removes deferred_attach_domain() which now is just a wrapper around find_domain and calls directly find_domain from caller sites. Fixes (1). 6) 1ddb32da4a62 iommu/vt-d: Simplify check in identity_mapping() Code cleanup. Fixes (1). Commits 2,3,5, and 6 are code movements/cleanups so little regression potential. Commit 1 is the intial code refactroring ( the rest of commits fix it) and commit 3 fixes the bug. So far testing has not revealed any regression. Any possible regression will regard device deffered attachment. [OTHER] Kernel affected 5.4.
