Subject: [RFC 4/4] vDPA: report device endian-ness to userspace through netlink
Date: Thu,  1 Sep 2022 18:16:01 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220901101601.61420-5-lingshan.zhu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220901101601.61420-1-lingshan.zhu@intel.com>

This commit introduces a new netlink attr VDPA_ATTR_DEV_ENDIAN
to report device endian-ness to usersapce.

So the userspace tools can be aware of the endian-ness of
the device, even uninitialized legacy/transitional devices.
