I see that s390 is relying on return values:

569 static int s390_iommu_iotlb_sync_map(struct iommu_domain *domain,
570 unsigned long iova, size_t size)
571 {

<...>

581 ret = zpci_refresh_trans((u64)zdev->fh << 32,
582 iova, size);
583 /*
584 * let the hypervisor discover invalidated entries
585 * allowing it to free IOVAs and unpin pages
586 */
587 if (ret == -ENOMEM) {
588 ret = zpci_refresh_all(zdev);
589 if (ret)
590 break;
591 }

<...>

595 return ret;
596 }
