Merge tag 'for-linus-20151021' of git://git.infradead.org/intel-iommu

Pull intel-iommu bugfix from David Woodhouse:
 "This contains a single fix, for when the IOMMU API is used to overlay
  an existing mapping comprised of 4KiB pages, with a mapping that can
  use superpages.

  For the *first* superpage in the new mapping, we were correctly¹
  freeing the old bottom-level page table page and clearing the link to
  it, before installing the superpage.  For subsequent superpages,
  however, we weren't.  This causes a memory leak, and a warning about
  setting a PTE which is already set.

  ¹ Well, not *entirely* correctly.  We just free the page table pages
    right there and then, which is wrong.  In fact they should only be
    freed *after* the IOTLB is flushed so we know the hardware will no
    longer be looking at them....  and in fact I note that the IOTLB
    flush is completely missing from the intel_iommu_map() code path,
    although it needs to be there if it's permitted to overwrite
    existing mappings.

    Fixing those is somewhat more intrusive though, and will probably
    need to wait for 4.4 at this point"
