Petr Tesarik fd5b64c1cf swiotlb: reduce the number of areas to match actual memory pool size 
[ Upstream commit 8ac0406335 ]

Although the desired size of the SWIOTLB memory pool is increased in
swiotlb_adjust_nareas() to match the number of areas, the actual allocation
may be smaller, which may require reducing the number of areas.

For example, Xen uses swiotlb_init_late(), which in turn uses the page
allocator. On x86, page size is 4 KiB and MAX_ORDER is 10 (1024 pages),
resulting in a maximum memory pool size of 4 MiB. This corresponds to 2048
slots of 2 KiB each. The minimum area size is 128 (IO_TLB_SEGSIZE),
allowing at most 2048 / 128 = 16 areas.

If num_possible_cpus() is greater than the maximum number of areas, areas
are smaller than IO_TLB_SEGSIZE and contiguous groups of free slots will
span multiple areas. When allocating and freeing slots, only one area will
be properly locked, causing race conditions on the unlocked slots and
ultimately data corruption, kernel hangs and crashes.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
