That's really good point.  So when "vhost" type is created, parent should assume addr of ctrl_vq is hva.

Thanks


This works for vhost but not virtio since there's no way for virtio kernel driver to differ ctrl_vq with the rest when doing DMA map. One possible solution is to provide DMA domain isolation between virtqueues. Then ctrl vq can use its dedicated DMA domain for the work.

Anyway, this could be done in the future. We can have a version first that doesn't support ctrl_vq.

Thanks
