5) generate diffs of memory table and using IOMMU API to setup the dma mapping in this methodFrankly I think that's a bunch of work. Why not a MAP/UNMAP interface?Sure, so that basically VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE/INVALIDATE I think?
Do you mean we let userspace to only use VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE/INVALIDATE to do the DMA mapping in vhost-vdpa case? When vIOMMU isn't available, userspace will set msg->iova to GPA, otherwise userspace will set msg->iova to GIOVA, and vhost-vdpa module will get HPA from msg->uaddr? Thanks, Tiwei
Thanks
