Will change in v4.

I just want to wait until the vq have enough space to write the bitmap, I thought qemu
side will update the vq->num_free, is it wrong?

Will change in next version.

Will change.

In probe stage, already allocated one bitmap.

Yes, GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary.

The previous buffer will not be freed.

I plan to use the previous allocated buffer to save the bitmap, need more code for kmalloc failure?

Indeed.

Yes, this version behave like this.

Yes, it can be freed immediately, will change in v4.

Thanks for your time and your valuable comments! I will send out the v4 soon.
