We need a switch, but we can make the switch is irrelevant to the DMA.

Because if yes it will be too late for the next release. if all you want to do is drop this patch then just say so, no need for another version.> > > > > > --- > > > drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c | 17 +++++++++++++++++ > > > include/linux/virtio.h | 2 ++ > > > 2 files changed, 19 insertions(+) > > > > > > diff --git a/drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c b/drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c > > > index f9f772e85a38..bb3d73d221cd 100644 > > > --- a/drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c > > > +++ b/drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c > > > @@ -2265,6 +2265,23 @@ int virtqueue_add_inbuf_ctx(struct virtqueue *vq, > > > } > > > EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(virtqueue_add_inbuf_ctx); > > > > > > +/** > > > + * virtqueue_dma_dev - get the dma dev > > > + * @_vq: the struct virtqueue we're talking about. > > > + * > > > + * Returns the dma dev.
