Agree. At the moment, i.e. with current mainline and even with the
IOMMU improvements in Joerg's queue, the IOMMU APIdoesn't work when the
hypervisor returns out-of-resource from the IOTLB flush (RPCIT). This
is currently only handled correctly in the arch/s390/pci/pci_dma.c DMA
API implementation. I think both handling this with a hidden/inlined
.iotlb_sync_map in s390_iommu_map_pages() or with an enhanced
.iotlb_sync_map that then must be able to return an error will fix this
shortcoming.  The latter would be something like this commit I'm
currently testing with:
