Hi Jason,

Unfortunately, I ran into the FIELD_PREP build failure with 98d5110f90ae (“iommupt: Make it clearer to the compiler that pts.level == 0 for single page”) already merged, which means it doesn’t work for me. I noticed you mentioned clang 18 hit the same issue and fixed by the patch. We’re using GCC 14.2.1, looks like GCC still constant-folds the contiguous branch despite the change to pts.level.

Thanks,
Sherry
