In order to reduce needlessly high setup and teardown cost of iotlb mapping during live migration, it's crucial to decouple the vhost-vdpa iotlb abstraction from the virtio device life cycle, i.e. iotlb mappings should be left intact across virtio device reset [1]. For it to work, the on-chip IOMMU parent device should implement a separate .reset_map() operation callback to restore 1:1 DMA

Userspace knows if the device has dedicated descriptor group or not by checking this feature bit. It's only exposed if the vdpa driver backend implements the .get_vq_desc_group() operation callback. Userspace trying to negotiate this feature when it or the dependent _F_IOTLB_ASID feature hasn't been exposed will result in an error. Signed-off-by: Si-Wei Liu <si-wei.liu at

Hi All: This series tries to add the support for control virtqueue in vDPA. Control virtqueue is used by networking device for accepting various commands from the driver. It's a must to support multiqueue and other configurations. When used by vhost-vDPA bus driver for VM, the control virtqueue should be shadowed via userspace VMM (Qemu) instead of being assigned directly to Guest. This is

Hi All: This series introduces API for reporing IOVA range. This is a must for userspace to work correclty: - for the process that uses vhost-vDPA directly to properly allocate IOVA - for VM(qemu), when vIOMMU is not enabled, fail early if GPA is out of range - for VM(qemu), when vIOMMU is enabled, determine a valid guest address width Please review. Thanks Jason Wang (4): vdpa:

v2 for internal review - heavily reworked NET_F_MAC patch, matches recent PR-68875 - reordered to put "clean and reset vqs" before "alloc-irq" to make them slightly simpler patches - other minor cleanups for simpler patches These are some fixes for device providing a MAC address, for allocating irq resources later to support vhost use, and for properly cleaning vq info

Clang warns several times when building for 32-bit ARM along the lines of: drivers/vdpa/mlx5/net/mlx5_vnet.c:1462:31: warning: shift count >= width of type [-Wshift-count-overflow] ndev->mvdev.mlx_features |= BIT(VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is related to the BIT macro, which uses an unsigned long literal,

This patchset is pre-requisite to export and provision device config attributes and features for vdpa live migration, in a way backward and forward compatibility can be retained. The follow up work [1] will need to be built around the new feature provisioning uAPI, with which it's easier to formalize migration compatibility support at the driver level.
