Subject: [PATCH v2 9/9] vfio/pci: Add mmap() attributes to DMABUF feature
Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 03:23:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260527102319.100128-10-mattev@meta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260527102319.100128-1-mattev@meta.com>
A new VFIO feature, VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF_MEMATTR, is added to
set (and get) CPU-facing memory type attributes for a DMABUF exported
from vfio-pci. These are used for subsequent mmap()s of the buffer.
There are two attributes supported:
- The default, VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF_MEMATTR_UC
- VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF_MEMATTR_WC, which results in WC
PTEs for the DMABUF's BAR region.
