[PATCH v2 0/4] Allow MMIO regions to be exported through dma-buf

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



dma-buf has become a way to safely acquire a handle to non-struct page
memory that can still have lifetime controlled by the exporter. Notably
RDMA can now import dma-buf FDs and build them into MRs which allows for
PCI P2P operations. Extend this to allow vfio-pci to export MMIO memory
from PCI device BARs.

This series supports a use case for SPDK where a NVMe device will be owned
by SPDK through VFIO but interacting with a RDMA device. The RDMA device
may directly access the NVMe CMB or directly manipulate the NVMe device's
doorbell using PCI P2P.

However, as a general mechanism, it can support many other scenarios with
VFIO. I imagine this dmabuf approach to be usable by iommufd as well for
generic and safe P2P mappings.

This series goes after the "Break up ioctl dispatch functions to one
function per ioctl" series.

v2:
 - Name the new file dma_buf.c
 - Restore orig_nents before freeing
 - Fix reversed logic around priv->revoked
 - Set priv->index
 - Rebased on v2 "Break up ioctl dispatch functions"
