    virtio_ring: fix return code on DMA mapping fails · f7728002
    Halil Pasic authored
    Commit 780bc790 ("virtio_ring: Support DMA APIs")  makes
    virtqueue_add() return -EIO when we fail to map our I/O buffers. This is
    a very realistic scenario for guests with encrypted memory, as swiotlb
    may run out of space, depending on it's size and the I/O load.
    
    The virtio-blk driver interprets -EIO form virtqueue_add() as an IO
    error, despite the fact that swiotlb full is in absence of bugs a
    recoverable condition.
    
    Let us change the return code to -ENOMEM, and make the block layer
    recover form these failures when virtio-blk encounters the condition
    described above.
