similar to: [RFC PATCH V3 0/3] basic device IOTLB support

This patch tries to implement an device IOTLB for vhost. This could be used with for co-operation with userspace(qemu) implementation of iommu 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: - Fill the translation request in a preset userspace address (This

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

Hi all: This is an update version of vDPA support in kernel. vDPA device is a device that uses a datapath which complies with the virtio specifications with vendor specific control path. vDPA devices can be both physically located on the hardware or emulated by software. vDPA hardware devices are usually implemented through PCIE with the following types: - PF (Physical Function) - A single

Hi all: This is an updated version of kernel support for vDPA device. Various changes were made based on the feedback since last verion. One major change is to drop the sysfs API and leave the management interface for future development, and introudce the incremental DMA bus operations. Please see changelog for more information. The work on vhost, IFCVF (intel VF driver for vDPA) and qemu is

The vhost_umem interval tree really wants [a, b) intervals, not fully closed as currently. As such convert it to use the new interval_tree_gen.h, and also rename the 'last' endpoint in the node to 'end', which both a more suitable name for the half closed interval and also reduces the chances of some caller being missed.

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.

v2: * Rewrote the conditional to make the vq access check clearer [Linus] * Added Patch 2 to make the return type consistent and harder to misuse [Linus] The first patch fixes the vhost virtqueue access check which was recently broken. The second patch replaces the int return type with bool to prevent future bugs. Stefan Hajnoczi (2): vhost: fix vhost_vq_access_ok() log check vhost:
