Hi all: This series tries to support batched IOTLB updating vhost-vdpa. Currently vhost-vdpa accepts userspace mapping via IOTLB API, and it can only forward one mapping to IOMMU or device through IOMMU API or dma_map(). Though set_map() is deisgend to have the capability to pass an rbtree based mapping to vDPA device, it's still be called at least once for each VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE or

This patches extend the vhost IOTLB API to accept batch updating hints form userspace. When userspace wants update the device IOTLB in a batch, it may do: 1) Write vhost_iotlb_msg with VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_BEGIN flag 2) Perform a batch of IOTLB updating via VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE/INVALIDATE 3) Write vhost_iotlb_msg with VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_END flag Vhost-vdpa may decide to batch the IOMMU/IOTLB updating in step 3 when vDPA device support set_map() ops. This is useful for the vDPA device that want to know all th...

Hi All: This series tries to add the support for control virtqueue in vDPA. Control virtqueue is used by networking device for accepting various commands from the driver. It's a must to support multiqueue and other configurations. When used by vhost-vDPA bus driver for VM, the control virtqueue should be shadowed via userspace VMM (Qemu) instead of being assigned directly to Guest. This is
