Following the pattern of io_uring, perf, skb, and bpf, iommfd will use user->locked_vm for accounting pinned pages. Ensure the value is included in the struct and export free_uid() as iommufd is modular. user->locked_vm is the good accounting to use for ulimit because it is per-user, and the security sandboxing of locked pages is not supposed to be per-process. Other places (vfio, vdpa and infiniband) have used mm->pinned_vm and/or mm->locked_vm for accounting pinned pages, but this is only per-process and inconsistent with the new FOLL_LONGTERM users in the kernel. Concurrent work is underway to try to put this in a cgroup, so everything can be consistent and the kernel can provide a FOLL_LONGTERM limit that actually provides security.

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.
