The whole approach here is to do dma remapping on each individual page
of the I/O buffer. But wouldn't it be possible to use dma_map_sg() to map
each scatterlist entry as a unit? Each scatterlist entry describes a range of
physically contiguous memory. After dma_map_sg(), the resulting dma
address must also refer to a physically contiguous range in the swiotlb
bounce buffer memory. So at the top of the "for" loop over the scatterlist
entries, do dma_map_sg() if we're in an isolated VM. Then compute the
hvpfn value based on the dma address instead of sg_page(). But everything
else is the same, and the inner loop for populating the pfn_arry is unmodified.
Furthermore, the dma_range array that you've added is not needed, since
scatterlist entries already have a dma_address field for saving the mapped
address, and dma_unmap_sg() uses that field.
I don't use dma_map_sg() here in order to avoid introducing one more loop(e,g dma_map_sg()). We already have a loop to populate cmd_request->dma_range[] and so do the dma map in the same loop.
Sorry for a typo. s/cmd_request->dma_range[]/payload->range.pfn_array[]/
