If some remap_pfn_range() calls succeeded before one failed, we still have
buffer pages mapped into the userspace page tables when we drop the buffer
reference with comedi_buf_map_put(bm). The userspace mappings are only
cleaned up later in the mmap error path.

Fix it by explicitly flushing all mappings in our VMA on the comedi_mmap()
error path.

See commit 79a61cc3fc04 ("mm: avoid leaving partial pfn mappings around in
error case").

Your patched version won't compile before 6.1 so you may want to indicate that in the Cc line.

Note: compile-tested only; I don't actually have comedi hardware, and I
don't know anything about comedi.

I guess this doesn't need to be done for the path that calls dma_mmap_coherent() since that does not do any range splitting. Would it be better to move it into the branch that calls remap_pfn_range() in a loop?

Note that I have no commit access to pulled-from repositories. Greg-KH usually commits them on one of his repos, so could you Cc him too? Thanks.
