Sorry, I don't know that, could you give me one link?

But now, virtio-net/virtio will use dma api, when the feature VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM
is got. If no VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM, the virtio(virtio-net) will not use DMA
API.

The problem is that xsk always get dma by DMA APIs, but sometimes the
virtio-net can not work with DMA APIs.

We tried, but that seams we can not.

The user will is the virtio-net with supporting to AF_XDP.

That is a huge patch set. Some is in virtio core, some is in net-dev.
An earlier version was [1] with some differences but not much.

	[1] http://lore.kernel.org/all/20230202110058.130695-1-xuanzhuo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I tried to split to multi patch-set.

Currently I plan to have several parts like this:

1. virtio core support premapped-dma, vq reset, expose dma device (virtio vhost branch)
2. virtio-net: refactor xdp (netdev branch)
3. virtio-net: support af-xdp (netdev branch)

But now, #1 is block by this dma question.

So, I want to complete this patch first.

I copy this from DMA APIs. For virtio that is not needed. But is there any
problems?

Because in most cases the dma_cbs is null for xsk. So I use the 'unlikely'.
