Hi all,
In the past, we clear dirty log immediately after sync dirty log to
userspace. This may cause redundant dirty handling if userspace
handles dirty log iteratively:
After vfio clears dirty log, new dirty log starts to generate. These
new dirty log will be reported to userspace even if they are generated
before userspace handles the same dirty page.
Since a new dirty log tracking method for vfio based on iommu hwdbm[1]
has been introduced in the kernel and added a new capability named
VFIO_DIRTY_LOG_MANUAL_CLEAR, we can eliminate some redundant dirty
handling by supporting it.
This series include patches as below:
Patch 1:
- updated the linux-headers/linux/vfio.h from kernel side
Patch 2:
- introduced 'struct VFIODMARange' to describe a range of the given DMA
mapping and with respect to a VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA operation
Patch 3:
- implemented the operation to manual clear vfio dirty log, which can
eliminate some redundant dirty handling
Thanks,
Kunkun Jiang
