To support vhost-vdpa bus driver, we need a way to share the
vhost-vdpa backend process's memory with the userspace VDUSE process.
This patch tries to make use of the vhost iotlb message to achieve
that. We will get the shm file from the iotlb message and pass it
to the userspace VDUSE process.

Besides, the eventfd mechanism is used to trigger interrupt callbacks and

vDPA device fd are provided to support that:

My feeling is that we should provide consistent API for the userspace
device to use.
E.g we'd better carry the IOTLB message for both virtio/vhost drivers.
It looks to me for virtio drivers we can still use UPDAT_IOTLB message
by using VDUSE file as msg->iotlb_file here.
It's OK for me. One problem is when to transfer the UPDATE_IOTLB
message in virtio cases.
Instead of generating IOTLB messages for userspace.
How about record the mappings (which is a common case for device have
on-chip IOMMU e.g mlx5e and vdpa simlator), then we can introduce ioctl
for userspace to query?
If so, the IOTLB UPDATE is actually triggered by ioctl, but
IOTLB_INVALIDATE is triggered by the message. Is it a little odd?
Good point.
Some questions here:
1) Userspace think the IOTLB was flushed after IOTLB_INVALIDATE syscall
is returned. But this patch doesn't have this guarantee. Can this lead
some issues?
I'm not sure. But should it be guaranteed in VDUSE userspace? Just
like what vhost-user backend process does.
I think so. This is because the userspace device needs a way to
synchronize invalidation with its datapath. Otherwise, guest may thing
the buffer is freed to be used by other parts but the it actually can be
used by the VDUSE device. The may cause security issues.
2) I think after VDUSE userspace receives IOTLB_INVALIDATE, it needs to
issue a munmap(). What if it doesn't do that?
Yes, the munmap() is needed. If it doesn't do that, VDUSE userspace
could still access the corresponding guest memory region.
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.
