Subject: [PATCH vhost 0/5] virtio_net: introduce api to enable/disable premapped mode for sq

As discussed:

http://lore.kernel.org/all/CACGkMEvq0No8QGC46U4mGsMtuD44fD_cfLcPaVmJ3rHYqRZxYg@mail.gmail.com

If virtio is in pre-mapped mode, the driver should manage the DMA info itself.

However, due to the indirect feature, the virtio-net driver may need to maintain
an excessive amount of DMA info. Therefore, we only enable pre-mapped mode for
the send queue (SQ) when af-xdp is bound to it. We have set a limit on the
amount of DMA info we manage. If the kernel stack or xdp tx/redirect attempts to
use more descriptors than this limit, virtnet_add_outbuf() will return an
-ENOMEM error. However, AF-XDP can continue working.

The last patch aims to demonstrate the logic of enabling pre-mapped mode when
af-xdp is bound to the SQ, and we can discuss it further.

Although the APIs are not used, this patch might belong in the final patch set
(virtio-net supports AF_XDP). But I hope the first four patches can be merged
first to reduce the number of patches in the final set.

Thanks.
