Is there a plan to add an API in vDPA_config_ops for getting the notification area from the VDPA device (something similar to get_notify_area in the VDPA DPDK case)? This will make the notifications from the guest (vhost_vdpa use case) to the VDPA device more efficient - at least for virtio 1.0+ drivers in the VM.
I believe this would require enhancement to the vhost ioctl (something similar to the VHOST_USER_SLAVE_VRING_HOST_NOTIFIER_MSG).
Yes, we plan to add that on top. Basically, here's what we plan to do:
(sorted by urgency)
1) direct doorbell mapping as you asked here
2) direct interrupt injection (when platform support, e.g through posted
interrupt)
3) control virtqueue support
Thanks
