A question here, consider we're using noiommu mode. If guest physical
address is passed here, how can a device use that?
I believe you meant "host physical address" here? And it also have the
implication that the HPA should be continuous (e.g using hugetlbfs).
The comment is talking about the virtual IOMMU (i.e. iotlb in vhost).
It should be rephrased to cover the noiommu case as well. Thanks for
spotting this.
So the question still, if GPA is passed how can it be used by the
virtio-mdev device?
Thanks
