[PATCH] avoid endless loops in lib/swiotlb.c

From: Jan Beulich
Date: Thu Mar 13 2008 - 05:13:06 EST


Commit 681cc5cd3efbeafca6386114070e0bfb5012e249 introduced two
possibilities for entering an endless loop in lib/swiotlb.c:

- if max_slots is zero (possible if mask is ~0UL)
- if the number of slots requested fits into a swiotlb segment, but is
too large for the part of a segment which remains after considering
offset_slots
