The use of BUG_ON is discouraged in the kernel. I did notice that is it
also used in the put_userptr callback in videobuf2-dma-contig.c.

I think it is much better to do something like this:

        if (!buf->vec->is_pfns) {
                n_pages = frame_vector_count(buf->vec);
                if (vaddr)
                        vm_unmap_ram((void *)vaddr, n_pages);
                if (buf->dma_dir == DMA_FROM_DEVICE ||
                    buf->dma_dir == DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL) {
	                pages = frame_vector_pages(buf->vec);
			if (!WARN_ON_ONCE(IS_ERR(pages)))
	                        for (i = 0; i < n_pages; i++)
        	                        set_page_dirty_lock(pages[i]);
		}
	} else {

and do something similar in videobuf2-dma-contig.c.

Regards,

	Hans
