Current implementation is recursive and in case of allocation
failure the existing @regions list is altered. A non recursive
version looks better for maintainability and simplifies the
error handling. We use a separate stack for overlapping segment
merging. The elements are sorted by start address and then by
type, if their start address match.
Note this new implementation may change the region order of
appearance in /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/<n>/reserved_regions
files but this order has never been documented, see
commit bc7d12b91b ("iommu: Implement reserved_regions
iommu-group sysfs file").

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.
