I see what you're doing and it's probably correct in this case.

But there's a larger issue with this iosys interfaces. Sometimes the address has to be modified (see calls of iosys_map_incr()). That can prevent incorrect uses of the mapping in other places, especially in

'prevent correct uses'

unmap code.

I think it would make sense to consider a separate structure for the I/O location. The buffer as a whole would still be represented by struct iosys_map.  And that new structure, let's call it struct iosys_ptr, would point to an actual location within the buffer's memory range. A few locations and helpers would need changes, but there are not so many callers that it's an issue.  This would also allow for a few debugging tests that ensure that iosys_ptr always operates within the bounds of an iosys_map.

I've long considered this idea, but there was no pressure to work on it. Maybe now.

Best regards
Thomas
