To restate the question, you said above "some legacy devices are known
to report buggy used length". If they report buggy length then how
can things work?

I don't really understand. We already iterate when we unmap -
all that is necessary is to subtract it from used length, if at
the end of the process it is >0 then we know used length is too
large.
