[Xen-devel] [Patch 1/2] x86/vtd: Fix suspected data race condition in iommu_set_root_entry()

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Coverity ID: 1054967

Coverity spotted that iommu->root_maddr was optionally allocated within the
protection of the iommu->lock, but was referenced with the protection of the
iommu->register_lock, and freed without any lock.

Luckily, the code as-is is not vulnerable to the potential risks identified.

However, the alloc_pgtable_maddr() is far more appropriately done in
iommu_alloc(), removing a set of spinlock calls, and a possibility for the
iommu setup to fail later than iommu_alloc() with an -ENOMEM.
