Subject: [PATCH RFC 21/26] dma-buf: Add the Physical Address List DMA mapping type
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2026 20:11:52 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <21-v1-b5cab63049c0+191af-dmabuf_map_type_jgg@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <0-v1-b5cab63049c0+191af-dmabuf_map_type_jgg@nvidia.com>
This type is required by iommufd and kvm as dmabuf importers.
Due to sensitivity about abusing physical addresses, restrict importers by
using EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES(). Only iommufd can implement an importer,
the kernel module loader will enforce this.
Allow anything to implement an exporter as there are use cases in
DPDK/SPDK to connect GPU memory into VFIO/iommufd and it is hard to abuse
the API as an exporter.
The physical address list exporter returns a physical address list in a
simple kvalloc'd array of struct phys_vec.
For now all entries are assumed to be MMIO and iommufd will map into
the IOMMU using the IOMMU_MMIO flag.
