Pinned pages are not properly accounted particularly when
mapping error occurs on IOTLB update. Clean up dangling
pinned pages for the error path.

The memory usage for bookkeeping pinned pages is reverted
to what it was before: only one single free page is needed.
This helps reduce the host memory demand for VM with a large
amount of memory, or in the situation where host is running
short of free memory.

Can we decrease npages where you did "nchunks++" then we can check npages here instead?
Hmmm, I am not sure I get what you want... @nchunks gets reset to 0 whenever a certain range of pinned pages is successfully mapped. The conditional (when nchunks is non-zero) here indicates if there's any _outstanding_ pinned page that has to clean up in the error handling path. While the decrement of @npages may not occur when resetting the @nchunks counter, rendering incorrect cleanup in the error path.


Yes, I meant e can decrease npages where you did "nchunks++". Anyhow, it's just a optimization to avoid a local variable which is not a must.

To me that opportunity doesn't exist. @nchunks and @npages track different kind of things. @npages is not interchangeable to represent all possible error cases.

BTW while reviewing it I got noticed of an error in my code. There might be still page pinning leak from wherever the vhost_vdpa_map() error occurs towards the end of page_list. I will post a v2 to fix this.


Sure, will review.

Thanks
