Pinned pages are not properly accounted particularly when
mapping error occurs on IOTLB update. Clean up dangling
pinned pages for the error path. As the inflight pinned
pages, specifically for memory region that strides across
multiple chunks, would need more than one free page for
book keeping and accounting. For simplicity, pin pages
for all memory in the IOVA range in one go rather than
have multiple pin_user_pages calls to make up the entire
region. This way it's easier to track and account the
pages already mapped, particularly for clean-up in the
error path.

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.
