There's only one caller that checks its return value with a WARN_ON_ONCE, while all other callers don't check the return value at all. Above that, an undo function should not fail. So, simplify the API to return void by embedding similar WARN_ONs. Also for users to pinpoint which condition fails, separate WARN_ON lines, yet remove the "driver->ops->unpin_pages" check, since it's unreasonable for callers to unpin on something totally random that wasn't even pinned. And remove NULL pointer checks for they would trigger oops vs. warnings. Note that npage is already validated in the vfio core, thus drop the same check in the type1 code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
