The function context_set_address_root() and set_root_value are setting new address in a wrong way, and this patch is trying to fix this problem.
According to Intel Vt-d specs(Feb 2011, Revision 1.3), Chapter 9.1 and 9.2, field ctp in root entry is using bits 12:63, field asr in context entry is using bits 12:63. To set these fields, the following functions are used: static inline void context_set_address_root(struct context_entry *context, unsigned long value); and static inline void set_root_value(struct root_entry *root, unsigned long value) But they are using an invalid method to set these fields, in current code, only a '|' operator is used to set it. This will not set the asr to the expected value if it has an old value. For example: Before calling this function, context->lo = 0x3456789012111; value = 0x123456789abcef12; After we call context_set_address_root(context, value), expected result is context->lo == 0x123456789abce111; But the actual result is: context->lo == 0x1237577f9bbde111; So we need to clear bits 12:63 before setting the new value, this will fix this problem.
