Use the newly added unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock()
for more quickly unpinning a consecutive range of pages

number of pages to unpin (for the tail pages which matching
head page) and thus batch the refcount update.

Running a test program which calls mr reg/unreg on a 1G in size
and measures cost of both operations together (in a guest using rxe)
with THP and hugetlbfs:

Maybe unsigned int is better, so as to perfectly match the scatterlist.length.

if (umem->nmap > 0)
  		ib_dma_unmap_sg(dev, umem->sg_head.sgl, umem->sg_nents,
  				DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL);
- for_each_sg_page(umem->sg_head.sgl, &sg_iter, umem->sg_nents, 0) {
-		page = sg_page_iter_page(&sg_iter);
-		unpin_user_pages_dirty_lock(&page, 1, umem->writable && dirty);
-	}
+	for_each_sg(umem->sg_head.sgl, sg, umem->nmap, i)

The change from umem->sg_nents to umem->nmap looks OK, although we should get
IB people to verify that there is not some odd bug or reason to leave it as is.

+		unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock(sg_page(sg),
+			DIV_ROUND_UP(sg->length, PAGE_SIZE), make_dirty);

Is it really OK to refer directly to sg->length? The scatterlist library goes
to some effort to avoid having callers directly access the struct member variables.

Actually, the for_each_sg() code and its behavior with sg->length and sg_page(sg)
confuses me because I'm new to it, and I don't quite understand how this works.
Especially with SG_CHAIN. I'm assuming that you've monitored /proc/vmstat for
nr_foll_pin* ?

sg_free_table(&umem->sg_head);
  }
