When walking the rbtree, the fact that iovad->start_pfn and limit_pfn
are both inclusive limits creates an ambiguity once limit_pfn reaches
the bottom of the address space and they overlap. Commit 5016bdb796
("iommu/iova: Fix underflow bug in __alloc_and_insert_iova_range") fixed
the worst side-effect of this, that of underflow wraparound leading to
bogus allocations, but the remaining fallout is that any attempt to
allocate start_pfn itself erroneously fails.
The cleanest way to resolve the ambiguity is to simply make limit_pfn an
exclusive limit when inside the guts of the rbtree. Since we're working
with PFNs, representing one past the top of the address space is always
possible without fear of overflow, and elsewhere it just makes life a
little more straightforward.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
