Currently, we will create new user mem map entry for the same memory
segment, but in fact it has already been added to the user mem maps.
It's not necessary to create it twice.

Fixes: 0cbce3a167f1 ("vfio: skip DMA map failure if already mapped")

I'm not sure i understand this patch. If we get errno, the call has 
failed, which means we're doing "goto out" from a few lines above. Am i 
missing something here?

Oh, i see, the actual functions will set errno and return 0.

I don't think it's an actual issue as compacting will presumably remove 
the extra user mem map anyway. What exactly is being fixed here? Does 
compacting user mem maps not remove the extra entry?

I read the codes about compacting user mem maps. Currently, the function
only merges adjacent user mem maps and does not remove the same entry.

How about removing the same entry in the fuction?

I would've expected "the same" to be within the definition of 
"adjacent". Can you confirm that this actually doesn't happen? If so, 
then yes, probably compacting should do that, instead of relying on an 
artifact of implementation.

OK, I will do that, will send the v2 later.
