I spent some time looking to see if I could guess what this is and
came up empty. It seems most likely we are leaking a dma mapping
tracking somehow? The DMA API side is pretty simple here though..

Not sure the 64k/4k itself is a cause, but triggering the non-iova
flow is probably the issue.

Can you check the output of this debugfs:

/*
 * Dump mappings entries on user space via debugfs
 */
static int dump_show(struct seq_file *seq, void *v)

? If the system is idle and it has lots of entries that is probably
confirmation of the theory.
