[PATCH v2 0/2] UIO support for dfl devices

From: Xu Yilun
Date: Sun Dec 13 2020 - 22:42:31 EST


This patchset supports some dfl device drivers written in userspace.

In the patchset v1, the "driver_override" interface should be used to bind
the DFL UIO driver to DFL devices. But there is concern that the
"driver_override" interface is not OK itself. So in v2, we use a new
matching algorithem. The "driver_override" interface is abandoned, the DFL
UIO driver matches any DFL device which could not be handled by other DFL
drivers. So the DFL UIO driver could be used for new DFL devices which are
not supported by kernel, also it will not impact the devices which are
already got supported.

Main changes from v1:
- switch to the new matching algorithem. It matches DFL devices which could
not be handled by other DFL drivers.
- refacor the code about device resources filling.
- add the documentation.
