[PATCH 0/2] KVM: MMU: support VMAs that got remap_pfn_range-ed

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

 



The vGPU folks would like to trap the first access to a BAR by setting
vm_ops on the VMAs produced by mmap-ing a VFIO device.  The fault handler
then can use remap_pfn_range to place some non-reserved pages in the VMA.

KVM lacks support for this kind of non-linear VM_PFNMAP mapping, and these
patches should fix this.

Thanks,

Paolo
