SubjectRE: [RFT][PATCH v2 0/9] Update vfio_pin/unpin_pages API
Date
> From: Nicolin Chen

> This is a preparatory series for IOMMUFD v2 patches. It prepares for
> replacing vfio_iommu_type1 implementations of vfio_pin/unpin_pages()
> with IOMMUFD version.
>
> There's a gap between these two versions: the vfio_iommu_type1 version
> inputs a non-contiguous PFN list and outputs another PFN list for the
> pinned physical page list, while the IOMMUFD version only supports a
> contiguous address input by accepting the starting IO virtual address
> of a set of pages to pin and by outputting to a physical page list.
>
> The nature of existing callers mostly aligns with the IOMMUFD version,
> except s390's vfio_ccw_cp code where some additional change is needed
> along with this series. Overall, updating to "iova" and "phys_page"
> does improve the caller side to some extent.
>
> Also fix a misuse of physical address and virtual address in the s390's
> crypto code. And update the input naming at the adjacent vfio_dma_rw().
>
> This is on github:
> https://github.com/nicolinc/iommufd/commits/vfio_pin_pages
>
> Request for testing: I only did build for s390 and i915 code, so it'd
> be nice to have people who have environment to run sanity accordingly.

+Terrence who is testing it for i915 now...
