Namely get_arch_dma_ops(struct bus type) can not work on vdpa_device.dev. Then it seems device drivers need to implement a wrap of dma_ops of parent devices. Can this work be done in the vdpa framework since it looks like a common task? Can "vd_dev->vdev.dev.parent = vdpa->dev->parent;" in virtio_vdpa_probe() do the work? Thanks, BR Zhu Lingshan
Good catch. I think we can. Thanks
