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.

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.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out - I can just use zap_vma_ptes()
instead, which is available in older kernels, that way it will be more
concise and the backport will be easier.

Sure, I'll move it up into the branch.

Ack, will do.
