This does need some masking, the purpose of this is to update the
access flags in the case we hit a fault on a dma mapped thing. Looks
like this can happen on a read-only page becoming writable again
(wp_page_reuse() doesn't trigger notifiers)

It should also have a comment to that effect.

something like:

if (*dma_addr) {
     /*
      * If the page is already dma mapped it means it went through a
      * non-invalidating trasition, like read-only to writable. Resync the
      * flags.
      */
     *dma_addr = (*dma_addr & (~ODP_DMA_ADDR_MASK)) | access_mask;
Did you mean

*dma_addr = (*dma_addr & (ODP_DMA_ADDR_MASK)) | access_mask;

Otherwise we may lose the dma_addr itself and just have the access flags. (see ODP_DMA_ADDR_MASK).
Also, if we went through a read->write access without invalidation why do we need to mask at all ? the new access_mask should have the write access.

     return;
}

new_dma_addr = ib_dma_map_page()
[..]
*dma_addr = new_dma_addr | access_mask

  			break;
  		}
I think this break should be a continue here. There is no reason not
to go to the next aligned PFN and try to sync as much as possible.

This might happen if the application didn't honor the contract to use hugepages for the full range despite that it sets IB_ACCESS_HUGETLB, right ?

Do we still need to sync as much as possible in that case ? I believe that we may consider return an error in this case to let application be aware of as was before this series.

This should also

   WARN_ON(umem_odp->dma_list[dma_index]);

And all the pr_debugs around this code being touched should become
mlx5_ib_dbg
We are in IB core, why mlx5_ib_debug ?
