Jaehoon KimandChristian Borntraeger 9972befc3e KVM: s390: Fall back to short-term pinning in MAP ioctl
FOLL_LONGTERM pinning fails for some memory types, such as file-backed
guest memory. As a result, kvm_s390_adapter_map() returns -EINVAL and
irqfd adapter registration fails even though interrupt delivery could
still work via the existing non-atomic path.

When FOLL_LONGTERM pinning fails, verify that the page is accessible
using a short-term pin instead. If the short-term pin succeeds, unpin
the page and add a map entry with pinned=false to preserve MAP/UNMAP
symmetry. The non-atomic irqfd path already performs short-term pinning
for interrupt delivery, so this restores the previous behavior for
memory that cannot be pinned long-term.

get_map_info() is updated to return NULL for unpinned entries so that
the atomic irqfd fast path falls back to the non-atomic path.
kvm_s390_adapter_unmap() and kvm_s390_unmap_all_adapters() skip dirty
marking and unpin for unpinned entries.

Update Documentation/virt/kvm/devices/s390_flic.rst to reflect the
new MAP/UNMAP behavior.
