Subject: [PATCH 9/9] vfio/pci: Add mmap() attributes to DMABUF feature
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 06:17:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416131815.2729131-10-mattev@meta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260416131815.2729131-1-mattev@meta.com>
A new field is reserved in vfio_device_feature_dma_buf.flags to
request CPU-facing memory type attributes for mmap()s of the buffer.
Add a flag VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF_ATTR_WC, which results in WC
PTEs for the DMABUF's BAR region.
Signed-off-by: Matt Evans <mattev@meta.com>
