Kamalesh,

With your config, I am able to reproduce the problem. I haven't touched
that part of code. I can take a look at it. It looks like we are trying
to create mapping for same "vaddr" multiple times and we get failures
after few creates. I am not sure why we are trying to create so many
times with same vaddr.

Thanks,
Badari
