We recently ran into a memory corruption bug which was root caused to lack of IOMMU TLB flush in intel_iommu_unmap() routine. While reviewing the code we also figured that the unmap routine always returns size only for one page rather than the total unmapped size. Since VFIO unmaps one page at a time, the problem isn't exposed Alex Williamson suggested that you're the maintainer of the code so sending to you for review. Diff for the changes is attached and is generated on Linux kernel version 3.6.11 Hari.
