We don't prevent it currently. There needs to be some balance,
typically we'll have one mm, so would it make sense to have potentially
thousands of mmu notifiers registered against the same mm?

What's the harm in calling disable IOPF on a device where it's already
disabled? This is why I'm not sure the value of keeping a counter. It
also presumes that for_each_dev iterates in the same order every time.

That can't be fixed with documentation, if it's a requirement, the code
needs to enforce it. But also why is it a requirement? Theoretically
we could unpin and de-account existing mappings and allow the mmu
notifier to handle these as well, right? Thanks,
