Given this is the same issue on both in the some place, I wonder if it
is better to try to get this series done:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20260603151804.1963871-1-guanghuifeng@linux.alibaba.com/
And put the cond sched inside the iova_to_phys_length() ?
It would be fine to do things in steps, like add the
iova_to_phys_length() that just does the loops iommufd and vfio have
today with the additional cond sched inside which isn't such a big
task.
