It's the existed uapi:

/* no alignment requirement */
struct vhost_iotlb_msg {
     __u64 iova;
     __u64 size;
     __u64 uaddr;
#define VHOST_ACCESS_RO      0x1
#define VHOST_ACCESS_WO      0x2
#define VHOST_ACCESS_RW      0x3
     __u8 perm;
#define VHOST_IOTLB_MISS           1
#define VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE         2
#define VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE     3
#define VHOST_IOTLB_ACCESS_FAIL    4
     __u8 type;
};

#define VHOST_IOTLB_MSG 0x1
#define VHOST_IOTLB_MSG_V2 0x2

struct vhost_msg {
     int type;
     union {
         struct vhost_iotlb_msg iotlb;
         __u8 padding[64];
     };
};

struct vhost_msg_v2 {
     __u32 type;
     __u32 reserved;
     union {
         struct vhost_iotlb_msg iotlb;
         __u8 padding[64];
     };
};
