In an effort to improve the out-of-the-box experience with Linux kernels for VMware users, VMware is working on readying the Virtual Machine Communication Interface (vmw_vmci) and VMCI Sockets (vmw_vsock) kernel modules for inclusion in the Linux kernel. The purpose of this post is to acquire feedback on the vmw_vmci kernel module. The vmw_vsock kernel module will be presented in a later post.

This patchset adds support for virtual IOMMU to the VMCI module. We switch to DMA consistent mappings for queuepair and doorbell pages that are passed to the device, which allows the module to work in the presence of vIOMMU/VT-d.
