Commit387caf0b75("iommu/amd: Treat per-device exclusion ranges as r/w unity-mapped regions") accidentally overwrites the 'flags' field in IVMD (struct ivmd_header) when the I/O virtualization memory definition is associated with the exclusion range entry. This leads to the corrupted IVMD table (incorrect checksum). The kdump kernel reports the invalid checksum: ACPI BIOS Warning (bug): Incorrect checksum in table [IVRS] - 0x5C, should be 0x60 (20200717/tbprint-177) AMD-Vi: [Firmware Bug]: IVRS invalid checksum Fix the above-mentioned issue by modifying the 'struct unity_map_entry' member instead of the IVMD header. Cleanup: The *exclusion_range* functions are not used anymore, so get rid of them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
