If the mmap_sem is contented then the vfio type1 IOMMU backend will defer locked page accounting updates to a workqueue task. This has a few problems and depending on which side the user tries to play, they might be over-penalized for unmaps that haven't yet been accounted or race the workqueue to enter more mappings than they're allowed. The original intent of this workqueue mechanism seems to be focused on reducing latency through the ioctl, but we cannot do so at the cost of correctness. Remove this workqueue mechanism and update the callers to allow for failure. We can also now recheck the limit under write lock to make sure we don't exceed it. vfio_pin_pages_remote() also now necessarily includes an unwind path which we can jump to directly if the consecutive page pinning finds that we're exceeding the user's memory limits. This avoids the current lazy approach which does accounting and mapping up to the fault, only to return an error on the next iteration to unwind the entire vfio_dma.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
