Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
iommufd: Break the loop on failure in iommufd_fault_fops_read()<br />
<br />
On a copy_to_user() failure inside the inner list_for_each_entry, only the<br />
inner loop breaks; the outer while re-fetches the just-restored fault group<br />
and retries the failing copy_to_user() forever, spinning the reader at 100%<br />
CPU with fault->mutex held.<br />
<br />
Check rc after the inner loop and break the outer while as well.
