Don't call dmaengine_unmap_put() twice for the same pointer. This
results in mempool_free() being called on a freed element.

Hi,
While the second dmaengine_unmap_put() looks redundant at first glance, my
understanding was that it compensates for the refcount decrement that would
normally happen on the dmaengine completion path, which never occurs when
dmaengine_submit() fails. Am I missing something?

Hi Koichiro,
Thanks for taking the time to review this.

I guess you are right. Now I see that dma_set_unmap() increments the
refcount. But I can't find the second refcount decrement in completion
path. I only see one call to dmaengine_unmap_put(). Can you enlighten
me?
Thanks,

Apologies for the late response. The dma_descriptor_unmap() wrapper should
handle that, shouldn't it?

it's definitely not in the NTB scope.
