similar to: [PATCH v2 1/2] vhost: move acked_features to VQs

Refactor code to make sure features are only accessed under VQ mutex. This makes everything simpler, no need for RCU here anymore. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Current pre-sorted memory region array has some limitations for future device IOTLB conversion: 1) need extra work for adding and removing a single region, and it's expected to be slow because of sorting or memory re-allocation. 2) need extra work of removing a large range which may intersect several regions with different size. 3) need trick for a replacement policy like LRU To

This patch tries to implement an device IOTLB for vhost. This could be used with for co-operation with userspace IOMMU implementation (qemu) for a secure DMA environment (DMAR) in guest. The idea is simple. When vhost meets an IOTLB miss, it will request the assistance of userspace to do the translation, this is done through: - when there's a IOTLB miss, it will notify userspace through

What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce the number of system calls involved in virtio networking. Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification. There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope - uses eventfd for signalling - structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for migration, bug work-arounds

This fixes two issues with recent access checking patch: 1. if (&d->vqs[i].private_data) -> if (d->vqs[i].private_data) 2. we can't forbid log base changes while ring is running, because host needs to resize log in rare cases (e.g. when memory is added with a baloon) and in that case it needs to increase log size with realloc, which might move the log address.
