GuoRui.Yu 7c3940bf81 swiotlb: fix the deadlock in swiotlb_do_find_slots
In general, if swiotlb is sufficient, the logic of index =
wrap_area_index(mem, index + 1) is fine, it will quickly take a slot and
release the area->lock; But if swiotlb is insufficient and the device
has min_align_mask requirements, such as NVME, we may not be able to
satisfy index == wrap and exit the loop properly. In this case, other
kernel threads will not be able to acquire the area->lock and release
the slot, resulting in a deadlock.

The current implementation of wrap_area_index does not involve a modulo
operation, so adjusting the wrap to ensure the loop ends is not trivial.
Introduce a new variable to record the number of loops and exit the loop
after completing the traversal.

Backtraces:
Other CPUs are waiting this core to exit the swiotlb_do_find_slots
loop.

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.
