Nit, GPUs don't imply a larger number of mapped IOVAs than any other type of device, QEMU statically maps the entire VM address space regardless of the device type. I am curious though which dGPUs and what size guests experience this problem, I'd also like to have those details in the commit log.

Looks like the IOMMU API has problems in this space too, ex. iommu_unmap(), Joerg? > + > + unmapped = iommu_unmap_fast(domain->domain, iova, len); > + if (WARN_ON(!unmapped)) { > + kfree(entry); > + return -EINVAL; > + } Not sure about the handling of this, the zero check is just a consistency validation. If there's nothing mapped where we think there should be something mapped, we warn and throw out the whole vfio_dma. After this patch, such an error gets warned twice, which doesn't really seem to be an improvement. > + > + iommu_tlb_range_add(domain->domain, iova, unmapped); > + entry->iova = iova; > + entry->phys = phys; > + entry->len = unmapped; > + list_add_tail(&entry->list, unmapped_regions); > + return unmapped; > +} > + > static long vfio_unmap_unpin(struct vfio_iommu *iommu, struct vfio_dma *dma, > bool do_accounting) > { > dma_addr_t iova = dma->iova, end = dma->iova + dma->size; > struct vfio_domain *domain, *d; > + struct list_head unmapped_regions; > + bool use_fastpath = true; > long unlocked = 0; > + int cnt = 0; > > if (!dma->size) > return 0; > @@ -661,6 +726,8 @@ static long vfio_unmap_unpin(struct vfio_iommu *iommu, struct vfio_dma *dma, > if (!IS_IOMMU_CAP_DOMAIN_IN_CONTAINER(iommu)) > return 0; > > + INIT_LIST_HEAD(&unmapped_regions); > + > /* > * We use the IOMMU to track the physical addresses, otherwise we'd > * need a much more complicated tracking system.

It would probably be wise to single (slow) step the failing entry to guarantee forward progress, but I don't see an advantage to switching to only slow mode for the full remainder of the vfio_dma.
