Subject: [PATCH v2] ACPI: utils: Ignore leading root scope prefix in string _UID match
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 23:31:24 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908043124.53175-1-mario.limonciello@amd.com> (raw)
Firmware may express an ACPI namespace path used as a _UID with or
without the leading root scope character ('\'). For example, an AMD
IVRS IVHD ACPI HID device entry may carry a character UID of
"\_SB.MHSP" while the corresponding device's _UID evaluates to
"_SB.MHSP" (or vice versa). This semantic difference is due to how
Windows PnP enumerates and uses devices.
acpi_str_uid_match() compared the two strings verbatim, so such
entries failed to match on the UID even though they refer to the same
object. In the AMD IOMMU case (get_acpihid_device_id()) this caused
the exact HID+UID match to be missed and the code to fall through to
the HID-only path, spuriously raising a FW_BUG.
Skip a single leading '\' on either string before comparing so that
paths that differ only by the root scope prefix are treated as a
match. The integer _UID path is unaffected.

v2:
* Add kdoc
* Make sure the string is at least two characters long to normalize
