Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] vfio: add dma-buf get_tph callback and DMA_BUF_TPH feature
Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 13:13:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260519201401.1558410-2-zhipingz@meta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260519201401.1558410-1-zhipingz@meta.com>
Add a dma-buf get_tph callback for exporters to return TPH
(TLP Processing Hints) metadata, and add VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF_TPH
so userspace can attach that metadata to a VFIO-exported dma-buf.
8-bit ST and 16-bit Extended ST are distinct PCIe TPH namespaces; the
uAPI carries both with explicit validity flags so importers get the
value matching their requested width. SET is write-once per dma-buf;
the existing VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF uAPI is unchanged.
