Intel-IOMMU Alignment Issue in dma_pte_clear_range()
This issue was pointed out by Linus. In dma_pte_clear_range() in intel-iommu.c start = PAGE_ALIGN(start); end &= PAGE_MASK; npages = (end - start) / VTD_PAGE_SIZE; In partial page case, start could be bigger than end and npages will be negative. Currently the issue doesn't show up as a real bug in because start and end have been aligned to page boundary already by all callers. So the issue has been hidden. But it is dangerous programming practice. Signed-off-by: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
