Doc Text:	In arm_smmu_v3 (part of the Linux IOMMU/SMMU driver), there’s a bug in the function arm_smmu_mm_invalidate_range (or its renamed variant) that can trigger a soft lockup, meaning the CPU gets stuck executing without making progress. The issue arises when flushing/invalidating TLB (translation lookaside buffer) ranges: there’s no limit enforced for the number of per-page TLBI (TLB invalidation) operations, unlike in the CPU MMU path which has MAX_TLBI_OPS. This allows extremely large or many invalidation requests to overwhelm the arm_smmu command queue, causing it to spin or stall.	Story Points:	---
