Re: [PATCH 4/4] kvm/vfio: Support for DMA coherent IOMMUs

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Tue Feb 18 2014 - 05:38:50 EST


Il 17/02/2014 21:24, Alex Williamson ha scritto:
VFIO now has support for using the IOMMU_CACHE flag and a mechanism
for an external user to test the current operating mode of the IOMMU.
Add support for this to the kvm-vfio pseudo device so that we only
register noncoherent DMA when necessary.
