Qian Cai 944c917539 iommu/iova: Silence warnings under memory pressure
When running heavy memory pressure workloads, this 5+ old system is
throwing endless warnings below because disk IO is too slow to recover
from swapping. Since the volume from alloc_iova_fast() could be large,
once it calls printk(), it will trigger disk IO (writing to the log
files) and pending softirqs which could cause an infinite loop and make
no progress for days by the ongoimng memory reclaim. This is the counter
part for Intel where the AMD part has already been merged. See the
commit 3d70889532 ("iommu/amd: Silence warnings under memory
pressure"). Since the allocation failure will be reported in
intel_alloc_iova(), so just call dev_err_once() there because even the
"ratelimited" is too much, and silence the one in alloc_iova_mem() to
avoid the expensive warn_alloc().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
