Subject: [PATCH v2] kernel/dma: Fix panic caused by passing swiotlb to command line

From: He Zhe <[email protected]>

setup_io_tlb_npages does not check input argument before passing it
to isdigit. The argument would be a NULL pointer if "swiotlb", without
its value, is set in command line and thus causes the following panic.

PANIC: early exception 0xe3 IP 10:ffffffffbb9b8e9f error 0 cr2 0x0

This patch adds a check to prevent the panic and sets it for 4MB by default.

Konrad, I'll pick this up through the DMA mapping tree unless you
protest in the next few days.

But this patch mainly fixes a crash. Could you please point me to the patch you mentioned?

Thanks,
