Subject: [PATCH 0/6] vDPA: doorbell mapping

Hi all:

This series introduce basic functionality of doorbell mapping support
for vhost-vDPA. Userspace program may use mmap() to map a the doorbell
of a specific virtqueue into its address space. This is help to reudce
the syscall or vmexit overhead.

A new vdpa_config_ops was introduced to report the location of the
doorbell, vhost_vdpa may then choose to map the doorbell when:

- The doorbell register is localted at page boundary
- The doorbell register does not share page with non doorbell
  registers.

With these two requriements, doorbells layout could be modelled more
easily from guest (e.g Qemu's page-per-vq model) and it would be more
safe to avoid exposing other registers to userspace directly.

IFCVF was reported to support this feature but unfortuantely the one I
used does not meet those requirements. So a new virtio-pci driver for
vDPA bus is introduced, and I verify this with page-per-vq=on with a
userspace vhost-vdpa driver in guest.

Please review.

Thanks

Jason Wang (6):
  vhost: allow device that does not depend on vhost worker
  vhost: use mmgrab() instead of mmget() for non worker device
  vdpa: introduce get_vq_notification method
  vhost_vdpa: support doorbell mapping via mmap
  vdpa: introduce virtio pci driver
  vdpa: vp_vdpa: report doorbell location
