6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Auger <eric.auger@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ca50ec377c2e94b0a9f8735de2856cd0f13beab4 upstream.
Commit e2ae38cf3d91 ("vhost: fix hung thread due to erroneous iotlb
entries") Forbade vhost iotlb msg with null size to prevent entries
with size = start = 0 and last = ULONG_MAX to end up in the iotlb.
Then commit 95932ab2ea07 ("vhost: allow batching hint without size")
only applied the check for VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE and VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE
message types to fix a regression observed with batching hit.
Still, the introduction of that check introduced a regression for
some users attempting to invalidate the whole ULONG_MAX range by
setting the size to 0. This is the case with qemu/smmuv3/vhost
integration which does not work anymore. It Looks safe to partially
revert the original commit and allow VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE messages
with null size. vhost_iotlb_del_range() will compute a correct end
iova. Same for vhost_vdpa_iotlb_unmap().
