Subject: Re: [PATCH v9 5/7] vfio: Define vfio based dma-buf operations
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 08:41:53 +0200	[thread overview]

  Hi,

That is still the case, user space decides which dma-bufs it'll go keep
cached.  But kernel space can see what user space is doing, so there is
no need to explicitly tell the kernel whenever a cached dma-buf exists
or not.

cheers,
  Gerd
