With this approach, silently skipping holes during IOAS_MAP_FILE means iommufd has no tracking of which IOVA ranges in the area are actually mapped, which complicates unmap and could also hide a bug if a hole in the range was not expected? I am wondering whether the areas can track the holes, or whether we should have areas for the mapped/unmapped ranges? This should allow proper sanity checks when doing revoke. I am also thinking about this from the live update point of view, where we might need to sanity check that the backing memory of mapped regions is preserved. Could you please CC me on v3? I'd like to follow this from the live update IOMMU and iommufd preservation side. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260921004834.2601285-1-skhawaja@google.com/ Thanks, Sami
