I see. So all the above two questions are because VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE
is expected to be synchronous. This need to be solved by tweaking the
current VDUSE API or we can re-visit to go with descriptors relaying first.

Actually all vdpa related operations are synchronous in current
implementation. The ops.set_map/dma_map/dma_unmap should not return
until the VDUSE_UPDATE_IOTLB/VDUSE_INVALIDATE_IOTLB message is replied
by userspace. Could it solve this problem?


 I was thinking whether or not we need to generate IOTLB_INVALIDATE message to VDUSE during dma_unmap (vduse_dev_unmap_page).

If we don't, we're probably fine.
