[PATCH v4 2/5] iommu/dma: Catch scatterlist length overflows

Message-ID <[email protected]>
It is possible, when a very large mapping uses only one
scatterlist, that padding overflows scatterlist's length field.
This results in:
 1) silently wrapping the value
 2) smaller than desired mappings produced by iommu_map_sg
 3) leaving mapped bytes in memory (no iommu_unmap)

Address this issue by adding overflow detection for scatterlist
length field.

Fixes: 809eac54cdd6 ("iommu/dma: Implement scatterlist segment merging")

v4:
 * Added value wrap check before s->length assignment (Robin);
