The panics in swiotlb are relics of a bygone era, some of them inadvertently inherited from a memblock refactor, and all of them unnecessary since they are in places that may also fail gracefully anyway. Convert the panics in swiotlb_init_remap() into non-fatal warnings more consistent with the other bail-out paths there and in swiotlb_init_late() (but don't bother trying to roll anything back, since if anything does actually fail that early, the aim is merely to keep going as far as possible to get more diagnostic information out of the inevitably-dying kernel). It's not for SWIOTLB to decide that the system is terminally compromised just because there *might* turn out to be one or more 32-bit devices that might want to make streaming DMA mappings, especially since we already handle the no-buffer case later if it turns out someone did want it. Similarly though, downgrade that panic in swiotlb_tbl_map_single(), since even if we do get to that point it's an overly extreme reaction. It makes little difference to the DMA API caller whether a mapping fails because the buffer is full or because there is no buffer, and once again it's not for SWIOTLB to presume that any particular DMA mapping is so fundamental to the operation of the system that it must be terminal if it could never succeed. Even if the caller handles failure by futilely retrying forever, a single stuck thread is considerably less impactful to the user than a needless panic.

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.
