similar to: [PATCH] vringh: fix typos in the vringh_init_* documentation

vDPA supports the possibility to use user VA in the iotlb messages. So, let's add support for user VA in vringh to use it in the vDPA simulators. Signed-off-by: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare at redhat.com> --- Notes: v3: - refactored avoiding code duplication [Eugenio] v2: - replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() [see previous patch] - fix cast warnings when

This series adds support for the use of user virtual addresses in the vDPA simulator devices. The main reason for this change is to lift the pinning of all guest memory. Especially with virtio devices implemented in software. The next step would be to generalize the code in vdpa-sim to allow the implementation of in-kernel software devices. Similar to vhost, but using vDPA so we can reuse the

Getting use of virtio rings correct is tricky, and a recent patch saw an implementation of in-kernel rings (as separate from userspace). This patch attempts to abstract the business of dealing with the virtio ring layout from the access (userspace or direct); to do this, we use function pointers, which gcc inlines correctly.

v2: - rebased on Linus' tree, commit ae3419fbac84 ("vc_screen: don't clobber return value in vcs_read") - removed `struct task_struct *owner` param (unused for now, maybe ?useful to support cgroups) [Jason] - add unbind_mm callback [Jason] - call the new unbind_mm callback during the release [Jason] - avoid to call bind_mm callback after the reset, since the device ?is not

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

kmap_atomic() is deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page() since commit f3ba3c710ac5 ("mm/highmem: Provide kmap_local*"). With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take page-faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts). Furthermore, the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the kernel virtual addresses are restored

This introduces vringh, which are generic accessors for virtio rings (host side). There's a host-side implementation in vhost, but it assumes that the rings are in userspace, and is tied to the vhost implementation. I have patches to adapt it to use vringh, but I'm pushing this in the next merge window for Sjur, who has CAIF patches which need it. This also includes a test program in

This fixes remaining sparse warnings in vringh and mic by using virtio 1.0 compliant wrappers. This also needs by get_user patches to avoid getting warnings from these calls. Tested by running vringh_test. Rusty, I prefer fixing all these warnings for 3.19, any objections? Michael S. Tsirkin (3): vringh: 64 bit features vringh: initial virtio 1.0 support mic/host: initial virtio 1.0
