Commit780bc7903a("virtio_ring: Support DMA APIs") makes virtqueue_add() return -EIO when we fail to map our I/O buffers. This is a very realistic scenario for guests with encrypted memory, as swiotlb may run out of space, depending on it's size and the I/O load. The virtio-blk driver interprets -EIO form virtqueue_add() as an IO error, despite the fact that swiotlb full is in absence of bugs a recoverable condition. Let us change the return code to -ENOMEM, and make the block layer recover form these failures when virtio-blk encounters the condition described above.

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.
