On s390 when using a paging hypervisor, .iotlb_sync_map is used to sync mappings by letting the hypervisor inspect the synced IOVA range and updating a shadow table. This however means that .iotlb_sync_map can fail as the hypervisor may run out of resources while doing the sync. This can be due to the hypervisor being unable to pin guest pages, due to a limit on mapped addresses such as vfio_iommu_type1.dma_entry_limit or lack of other resources. Either way such a failure to sync a mapping should result in a DMA_MAPPING_ERROR. Now especially when running with batched IOTLB flushes for unmap it may be that some IOVAs have already been invalidated but not yet synced via .iotlb_sync_map. Thus if the hypervisor indicates running out of resources, first do a global flush allowing the hypervisor to free resources associated with these mappings as well a retry creating the new mappings and only if that also fails report this error to callers.
