This commit implements doorbell mapping feature for ifcvf.
This feature maps the notify page to userspace, to eliminate
vmexit when kick a vq.

We don't need this since:

1) there's a check in the vhost vDPA
I think you mean this code block in vdpa.c
        notify = ops->get_vq_notification(vdpa, index);
        if (notify.addr & (PAGE_SIZE - 1))
                return -EINVAL;

This should work, however, I think the parent driver should ensure it passes a PAGE_SIZE aligned address to userspace, to be robust, to be reliable.


The point is parent is unaware of whether or not there's a userspace.
when calling this, I think it targets a usersapce program, why kernel space need it, so IMHO no harm if we check this to keep the parent driver robust.


Again, vDPA device is unaware of what driver that is bound. It could be virtio-vpda, vhost-vdpa or other in the future. It's only the vDPA bus driver know how it is actually used.




2) device is unaware of the bound driver, non page aligned doorbell doesn't necessarily meant it can be used
Yes, non page aligned doorbell can not be used, so there is a check.


Typo, what I meant is "it can't be used". That is to say, we should let the vDPA bus driver to decide whether or not it can be used.
If it is not page aligned, there would be extra complexities for vhost/qemu, I see it as a hardware defect,


It is allowed by the virtio spec, isn't it?
The spec does not require the doorbell to be page size aligned, however it still a hardware defect if non page size aligned notify base present, I will leave a warning message here instead of the 0 value.


Another note is that, using PAGE_SIZE is wrong here since it varies among archs (at most 64K on some one).

Thanks


why adapt to this kind of defects?

Let's leave those polices to the driver.

Thanks
