Can this be done under if (map->dma_vaddr) ?
    In other words, is it
possible for dma_vaddr to be NULL and still have unallocated frames
pointer?
It is possible to have vaddr == NULL and frames != NULL as we
allocate frames outside of gnttab_dma_alloc_pages which
may fail. Calling kfree on NULL pointer is safe,
I am not questioning safety of the code, I would like avoid another
ifdef.
Ah, I now understand, so you are asking if we can have
that kfree(map->frames); in the place *Option 2* I marked above.
Unfortunately no: map->frames is allocated before we try to
allocate DMA memory, e.g. before dma_vaddr is set:
[...]
         add->frames = kcalloc(count, sizeof(add->frames[0]),
                       GFP_KERNEL);
         if (!add->frames)
             goto err;

[...]
         if (gnttab_dma_alloc_pages(&args))
             goto err;

         add->dma_vaddr = args.vaddr;
[...]
err:
     gntdev_free_map(add);

So, it is possible to enter gntdev_free_map with
frames != NULL and dma_vaddr == NULL. Option 1 above cannot be used
as map->frames is needed for gnttab_dma_free_pages(&args);
and Option 2 cannot be used as frames != NULL and dma_vaddr == NULL.
Thus, I think that unfortunately we need that #ifdef.
Option 3 below can also be considered, but that seems to be not good
as we free resources in different places which looks inconsistent.

I was only thinking of option 2. But if it is possible to have frames !=
NULL and dma_vaddr == NULL then perhaps we indeed will have to live with
the extra ifdef.
ok

Sorry if I'm still missing your point.
so
I see no reason to change this code.

Not pfn_to_mfn()?
I'd love to, but pfn_to_mfn is only defined for x86, not ARM: [1]
and [2]
Thus,

drivers/xen/gntdev.c:408:10: error: implicit declaration of function
‘pfn_to_mfn’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
      mfn = pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(map->pages[i]));

So, I'll keep __pfn_to_mfn
How will this work on non-PV x86?
So, you mean I need:
#ifdef CONFIG_X86
mfn = pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(map->pages[i]));
#else
mfn = __pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(map->pages[i]));
#endif

I'd rather fix it in ARM code. Stefano, why does ARM uses the
underscored version?
Do you want me to add one more patch for ARM to wrap __pfn_to_mfn
with static inline for ARM? e.g.
static inline ...pfn_to_mfn(...)
{
    __pfn_to_mfn();
}
