📋 Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Break the loop on failure in iommufd_fault_fops_read()
On a copy_to_user() failure inside the inner list_for_each_entry, only the inner loop breaks; the outer while re-fetches the just-restored fault group and retries the failing copy_to_user() forever, spinning the reader at 100% CPU with fault->mutex held.
Check rc after the inner loop and break the outer while as well.
