[PATCH 1/2] swiotlb: Check that slabs have been allocated when requested

From: Mario Limonciello
Date: Mon Apr 04 2022 - 17:52:06 EST


If the IOMMU is in use and an untrusted device is connected to an external
facing port but the address requested isn't page aligned will cause the
kernel to attempt to use bounce buffers.

If the bounce buffers have not been allocated however, this leads
to messages like this:

swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 4096 bytes), total 0 (slots), used 0 (slots)

Clarify the error message because the buffer isn't full, it doesn't
exist!
