While chasing yet another set of DMAR fault reports, I noticed that the frwr recycler conflates whether or not an MR has been DMA unmapped with frwr->fr_state. Actually the two have only an indirect relationship. It's in fact impossible to guess reliably whether the MR has been DMA unmapped based on its fr_state field, especially as the surrounding code and its assumptions have changed over time. A better approach is to track the DMA mapping status explicitly so that the recycler is less brittle to unexpected situations, and attempts to DMA-unmap a second time are prevented.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
