[PATCH v7 4/4] vfio: convey kvm that the vfio-pci device is wc safe

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

 



From: Ankit Agrawal <ankita@xxxxxxxxxx>

The code to map the MMIO in S2 as NormalNC is enabled when conveyed
that the device is WC safe using a new flag VM_ALLOW_ANY_UNCACHED.

Make vfio-pci set the VM_ALLOW_ANY_UNCACHED flag.

This could be extended to other devices in the future once that
is deemed safe.
