[PATCH net 1/1] net/rds: dma_map_sg is entitled to merge entries

From: Gerd Rausch <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-17 17:04:52
Also in: netdev
Subsystem: networking [general], rds - reliable datagram sockets, the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Allison Henderson, Linus Torvalds

Function "dma_map_sg" is entitled to merge adjacent entries
and return a value smaller than what was passed as "nents".

Subsequently "ib_map_mr_sg" needs to work with this value ("sg_dma_len")
rather than the original "nents" parameter ("sg_len").

This old RDS bug was exposed and reliably causes kernel panics
(using RDMA operations "rds-stress -D") on x86_64 starting with:
commit c588072bba6b ("iommu/vt-d: Convert intel iommu driver to the iommu ops")

Simply put: Linux 5.11 and later.
