In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this allocates the working buffers before starting the writing so it won't abort in the middle. This needs an initial walk of the lists to figure out how large the buffer should be.

From: Thierry Reding <treding at nvidia.com> Most IOMMU drivers only need to free the memory allocated for each reserved region. Instead of open-coding the loop to do this in each driver, extract the code into a common function that can be used by all these drivers.

Move vhost.h to include/linux to allow vhost driver out-of-tree compilation. Currently, this cannot be done properly because the vhost header file is in driver/vhost. To distribute a new vhost driver before it is included in the kernel tree, we need to package it using kmod, dkms, ..., and to compile it out-of-tree using headers provided by the distribution's kernel development package.

We are sending whole of virtio_fs_foreget struct to the other end over virtqueue. Other end does not need to see elements like "struct list". That's internal detail of guest kernel. Fix it.

Because Linux might use bigger pages than the 4K pages to handle those mmio ioremaps, the kmmio code shouldn't rely on the pade id as it currently does. Using the memory address instead of the page id let's us lookup how big the page is and what it's base address is, so that we won't get a page fault within the same page twice anymore. I don't know if I got this right though,

Hello from the Military-Industrial Complex! We're a large defense contractor located in East Hartford, CT, USA. US export laws make us 'kind of' concerned about who gets in here and what they can access. We've got a problem with some of the groups that we have in our NIS database. Everyone who logs into our Sun system is assigned to one of several groups for export-control
