similar to: [PATCH] fs: push file_update_time into ->page_mkwrite

Hi all, This patchset makes some key modifications to the original ''stable page writes'' patchset. First, it provides users (devices and filesystems) of a backing_dev_info the ability to declare whether or not it is necessary to ensure that page contents cannot change during writeout, whereas the current code assumes that this is true. Second, it relaxes the

In every place where sb_start_pagefault was called now we must manage the error code and return VM_FAULT_RETRY.

Given the need for 4K doorbell such that QEMU can easily map, ect, and assuming that I have a HW device which exposes 2 VQ's, with a notification area off of BAR3, offset=whatever, notifier_multiplier=4, we don't need to have 2 x 4K pages mapped into the VM for both doorbells do we? The guest driver would ring DB0 at BAR4+offset, and DB1 at BAR4+offset+(4*1). The 4K per DB is useful how?

Currently the doorbell is relayed via eventfd which may have significant overhead because of the cost of vmexits or syscall. This patch introduces mmap() based doorbell mapping which can eliminate the overhead caused by vmexit or syscall. To ease the userspace modeling of the doorbell layout (usually virtio-pci), this patch starts from a doorbell per page model. Vhost-vdpa only support the

Device exclusive page table entries are used to prevent CPU access to a page whilst it is being accessed from a device. Typically this is used to implement atomic operations when the underlying bus does not support atomic access. When a CPU thread encounters a device exclusive entry it locks the page and restores the original entry after calling mmu notifiers to signal drivers that exclusive

Hi all: This series introduce basic functionality of doorbell mapping support for vhost-vDPA. Userspace program may use mmap() to map a the doorbell of a specific virtqueue into its address space. This is help to reudce the syscall or vmexit overhead. A new vdpa_config_ops was introduced to report the location of the doorbell, vhost_vdpa may then choose to map the doorbell when: - The doorbell
