I think it matters :)
Image that the process holds the uacce queue is running(read and write
the queue), then you do 'uacce_remove'.
The process is running(read and write the queue) well in the time
between 'uacce_put_queue' and
'unmap_mapping_range', however, the queue with its DMA memory may be
gotten and used by
other guys in this time, since you have released them in kernel. As a
result, the running process will be a disaster.
