Subject: [RFC PATCH kernel] vfio/spapr_tce: Get rid of possible infinite loop
Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2018 13:22:31 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181002032231.7494-1-aik@ozlabs.ru> (raw)
As a part of cleanup, the SPAPR TCE IOMMU subdriver releases preregistered
memory. If there is a bug in memory release, the loop in
tce_iommu_release() becomes infinite; this actually happened to me.
This makes the loop finite and prints a warning on every failure to make
the code more bug prone.
