In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommufd: Set end correctly when doing batch carry

Even though the test suite covers this it somehow became obscured that
this wasn't working.

The test iommufd_ioas.mock_domain.access_domain_destory would blow up
rarely.

end should be set to 1 because this just pushed an item, the carry, to the
pfns list.

Sometimes the test would blow up with:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
