[PATCH V3 02/17] i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Bounce short reads irrespective of the IOMMU
From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Sun Sep 20 2026 - 11:14:05 EST
The controller writes whole DWORDs, so a read whose length is not a
multiple of 4 overwrites up to 3 bytes past the end of the destination
buffer. That is a property of the controller, not of the IOMMU, but the
bounce buffer that works around it was used only when the device was
IOMMU mapped. Everywhere else the buffer is left unprotected.
Drop the device_iommu_mapped() condition.
The overrun is easily seen with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y and kernel command
line options intel_iommu=off slub_debug=FZPU, which reports it as a
kmalloc redzone overwrite, like:
[kmalloc Redzone overwritten] 0xffff8a354561570e-0xffff8a354561570f @offset=1806. First byte 0x15 instead of 0xcc
