Linux kernel source tree
bee8c7c24b
This patch introduces map operations for virtio device. Virtio used to use DMA API which is not necessarily the case since some devices doesn't do DMA. Instead of using tricks and abusing DMA API, let's simply abstract the current mapping logic into a virtio specific mapping operations. For the device or transport that doesn't do DMA, they can implement their own mapping logic without the need to trick DMA core. In this case the mapping metadata is opaque to the virtio core that will be passed back to the transport or device specific map operations. For other devices, DMA API will still be used, so map token will still be the dma device to minimize the changeset and performance impact. The mapping operations are abstracted as a independent structure instead of reusing virtio_config_ops. This allows the transport can simply reuse the structure for lower layers like vDPA. A set of new mapping helpers were introduced for the device that want to do mapping by themselves.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
