This is what I wrote:

+/**
+ * iommu_unmap() - Remove mappings from a range of IOVA
+ * @domain: Domain to manipulate
+ * @iova: IO virtual address to start
+ * @size: Length of the range starting from @iova
+ *
+ * iommu_unmap() will remove a translation created by iommu_map(). It cannot
+ * subdivide a mapping created by iommu_map(), so it should be called with IOVA
+ * ranges that match what was passed to iommu_map(). The range can aggregate
+ * contiguous iommu_map() calls so long as no individual range is split.
+ *
+ * Returns: Number of bytes of IOVA unmapped. iova + res will be the point
+ * unmapping stopped.
