refer to the comments of ib_umem_odp_map_dma_and_lock:
334  * Returns the number of pages mapped in success, negative error 
code
335  * for failure.

I don't think it's correct to release the lock in all failure case, for 
example when it reaches below error path.

346 int ib_umem_odp_map_dma_and_lock(struct ib_umem_odp *umem_odp, u64 
user_virt,
347                                  u64 bcnt, u64 access_mask, bool 
fault)
348                         __acquires(&umem_odp->umem_mutex)

351         struct mm_struct *owning_mm = umem_odp->umem.owning_mm; 

352         int pfn_index, dma_index, ret = 0, start_idx; 

353         unsigned int page_shift, hmm_order, pfn_start_idx;

357 

358         if (access_mask == 0) 

359                 return -EINVAL;   <<<<<   no lock is hold yet 

360 

361         if (user_virt < ib_umem_start(umem_odp) || 

362             user_virt + bcnt > ib_umem_end(umem_odp)) 

363                 return -EFAULT;   <<<<<   no lock is hold yet


Further more, you changed public API's the behavior, do it matter for 
other out-of-tree drivers which is using it, i'm not familiar with this, 
maybe kernel has no restriction on it ?
