Add an interface for the user to notify the kernel that it is done reading

Unless I'm missing something, this type of error reporting is unrecoverable -- userspace doesn't know how many tokens have been freed.

I think you should either make it explicitly unrecoverable (somehow shut down dmabuf handling entirely) or tell userspace how many tokens were successfully freed.
