All pages found in pfn_list have been pinned and counted externally.
In this case, the lock_acct should not be added.
I thought it could spend lots of time to figure out how many pages have been pinned
in this hugetlb page.
But considering that the dma->pfn_list is NULL in most cases, it does not matter to 
do this. So,I will modify it to figure out the number of pages pinned externally.

It is a special case if the vaddr is the last page.
Because the next page is in another hugetlb page, and the hugetlb pages may be not contiguous.
But,as you said, it is redundant to the pinning path.
I will rewrite this function.

If the vaddr is the last page, the next page is in another hugetlb page.
In the new patch, I will check the address of all hugetlb pages. If the vaddr is the
last page of a hugetlb page and the next hugetlb page is contiguous, I wll take the
fast path.

Yes, the vaddr should be alignment.

Do you mean like this?
(1) ret = vaddr_get_pfn(current->mm, vaddr, dma->prot, pfn_base)
(2)rsvd is true
(3)There is something wrong and goto unpin_out
(4)can not put_pfn for pfn_base because of rsvd
