In general: if user space controls it -> possibly forever -> long-term.
Even if in most cases it's a short delay: there is no trusting on user
space.
For example, iouring fixed buffers keep pages pinned until user space
decides to unregistered the buffers -> long-term.
Short-term is, for example, something like O_DIRECT where we pin -> DMA
-> unpin in essentially one operation.
