We have not pinned all the pages so why don't we report an error? The returned value is the number of pinned pages but is never checked against the target if I am not wrong. - Also during this scan we do not break if we discover the pfn is externally pinned, right? Can't it occur? - Couldn't we handle the rsvd case at the beginning? if the pfn_base is rsvd then we won't do anything if I get it right. > > return pinned; > } > @@ -522,8 +507,14 @@ static int vfio_pin_page_external(struct vfio_dma *dma, unsigned long vaddr, > goto pin_page_exit; > } > > - if (!rsvd && do_accounting) > - vfio_lock_acct(dma->task, 1); > + if (!rsvd && do_accounting) { > + ret = vfio_lock_acct(dma->task, 1); > + if (ret) { > + put_pfn(*pfn_base, dma->prot); > + goto pin_page_exit; > + } > + } > + > ret = 1; not especially related to this patch but as the returned value is not "standard", ie. 0 on success and <0 on failure, might be helpful to add a kernel doc Thanks Eric > > pin_page_exit: >
