similar to: [PATCH vhost v4 00/11] virtio core prepares for AF_XDP

XDP socket(AF_XDP) is an excellent bypass kernel network framework. The zero copy feature of xsk (XDP socket) needs to be supported by the driver. The performance of zero copy is very good.

## About DMA APIs Now, virtio may can not work with DMA APIs when virtio features do not have VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM. 1. I tried to let DMA APIs return phy address by virtio-device. But DMA APIs just work with the "real" devices. 2. I tried to let xsk support callballs to get phy address from virtio-net driver as the dma address. But the maintainers of xsk may want to use

virtio core only supports virtual addresses, dma is completed in virtio core. In some scenarios (such as the AF_XDP), the memory is allocated and DMA mapping is completed in advance, so it is necessary for us to support passing the DMA address to virtio core. Drives can use sg->dma_address to pass the mapped dma address to virtio core. If one sg->dma_address is used then all sgs must use

DMA-related logic is separated from the virtqueue_add_vring_packed() to prepare for subsequent support for premapped. DMA address will be saved as sg->dma_address, then virtqueue_add_vring_packed() will use it directly. If it is a premapped scene, the transmitted sgs should have saved DMA address in dma_address, and in virtio core, we need to pass virtqueue_map_sgs(). Signed-off-by: Xuan

The patch seems to do more than what is described here. To simplify reviewers, I'd suggest to split this patch into three: 1) virtqueue_add_split_prepare() (could we have a better

DMA-related logic is separated from the virtqueue_add_split() to one new function. DMA address will be saved as sg->dma_address if use_dma_api is true, then virtqueue_add_split() will use it directly. Unmap operation will be simpler. The purpose of this is to facilitate subsequent support to receive dma address mapped by drivers. Signed-off-by: Xuan Zhuo <xuanzhuo at linux.alibaba.com>
