What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommufd: Set end correctly when doing batch carry

Even though the test suite covers this it somehow became obscured that

this wasn't working.

The test iommufd_ioas.mock_domain.access_domain_destory would blow up

rarely.

end should be set to 1 because this just pushed an item, the carry, to the

pfns list.

Sometimes the test would blow up with:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000

#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode

#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

PGD 0 P4D 0
