Hi Christoph,

Thanks for your reply, and this new version looks go to me.

Yours sincerely,
Guorui

I think this looks generall fine, but the index_nowrap variable
name seems very confusing. What about this slighlt adjusted
version?

Subject: swiotlb: fix the deadlock in swiotlb_do_find_slots

In general, if swiotlb is sufficient, the logic of index =
wrap_area_index(mem, index + 1) is fine, it will quickly take a slot and
release the area->lock; But if swiotlb is insufficient and the device
has min_align_mask requirements, such as NVME, we may not be able to
satisfy index == wrap and exit the loop properly. In this case, other
kernel threads will not be able to acquire the area->lock and release
the slot, resulting in a deadlock.

The current implementation of wrap_area_index does not involve a modulo
operation, so adjusting the wrap to ensure the loop ends is not trivial.
Introduce a new variable to record the number of loops and exit the loop
after completing the traversal.

Backtraces:
Other CPUs are waiting this core to exit the swiotlb_do_find_slots
loop.
