From 25abc060d282132ea5c945392f900dca0a7e9bbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wang Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2020 19:20:40 +0300 Subject: vhost-vdpa: support IOTLB batching hints This patches extend the vhost IOTLB API to accept batch updating hints form userspace. When userspace wants update the device IOTLB in a batch, it may do: 1) Write vhost_iotlb_msg with VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_BEGIN flag 2) Perform a batch of IOTLB updating via VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE/INVALIDATE 3) Write vhost_iotlb_msg with VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_END flag Vhost-vdpa may decide to batch the IOMMU/IOTLB updating in step 3 when vDPA device support set_map() ops. This is useful for the vDPA device that want to know all the mappings to tweak their own DMA translation logic. For vDPA device that doesn't require set_map(), no behavior changes. This capability is advertised via VHOST_BACKEND_F_IOTLB_BATCH capability. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200804162048.22587-5-eli@mellanox.com Signed-off-by: Michael S.
