Do you have a real use case for this fix? I'm thinking if we will break any delivered platforms with this patch applied, since this code is not changed from 2016, and it's the key logic for mapping the IDs. I checked Hisilicon's ARM64 server platform, Number of IDs is equal to the number of IDs in the range in the firmware, which is not doing the same as the spec said, but (rid_in > map->input_base + map->id_count) is still valid with this patch applied, not sure for other platforms. Thanks Hanjun
