Intel-IOMMU Alignment Issue in dma_pte_clear_range() 

This issue was pointed out by Linus.

In dma_pte_clear_range() in intel-iommu.c

start = PAGE_ALIGN(start);
end &= PAGE_MASK;
npages = (end - start) / VTD_PAGE_SIZE;

In partial page case, start could be bigger than end and npages will be
negative.

Currently the issue doesn't show up as a real bug in because start and 
end have been aligned to page boundary already by all callers. So the 
issue has been hidden. But it is dangerous programming practice.
