[PATCH v2] iommu/dma: simplify dma_iova_destroy() and drop the free_iova helper
From: Honglei Huang
Date: Thu Jul 02 2026 - 23:38:05 EST
dma_iova_destroy() frees the IOVA space through __iommu_dma_iova_unlink()
using a "free_iova" boolean, which duplicates the IOVA free logic in
dma_iova_free(). And it frees using the unmapped @mapped_len, which for a
partially linked reservation is smaller than the reserved size. This
results in a benign waste as pointed out by Robin, not a leak. So this is
a cleanup, not a fix.
Drop the duplicated free path. Fold __iommu_dma_iova_unlink into
dma_iova_unlink and remove the free_iova parameter so it only unmaps.
dma_iova_destroy then unlinks the mapped range if mapped_len is set and
unconditionally calls dma_iova_free, which frees the whole reservation
via dma_iova_size. The freed size now always matches the reserved size,
and destroy reads as unlink then free.
Note that dma_iova_destroy() no longer routes the free through the flush
queue; teardown now unmaps synchronously and frees directly, matching
dma_iova_free().
No functional change intended for callers.

Changes since v1:
- Reframed from an IOVA-leak fix into a cleanup; dropped Fixes:/Cc: stable.
- Fold the free_iova helper into dma_iova_unlink() according to Leon's
diff, so destroy is unlink + dma_iova_free(). Added Suggested-by: Leon.
