The way cookie_init_hw_msi_region() allocates the iommu_dma_msi_page

The former performs a single allocation of all the required structures,
while the latter tries to free them one at a time. It doesn't quite
work for the main use case (the GICv3 ITS where the range is 64kB)
when the base ganule size is 4kB.

This leads to a nice slab corruption on teardown, which is easily
observable by simply creating a VF on a SRIOV-capable device, and
tearing it down immediately (no need to even make use of it).

Fix it by allocating iommu_dma_msi_page structures one at a time.

Bleh, you know you're supposed to be using 64K pages on those things, right? :P

lalalala... ;-)

I think we can just return here and skip the cleanup below - by the
time we get here the cookie itself has already been allocated and
initialised, so even if iommu_dma_init_domain() fails someone else has
already accepted the responsibility of calling iommu_put_dma_cookie()
at some point later, which will clean up properly.

Ah, that's a very good point. I'll refresh the patch with a simplified
error handling.

Thanks,
