[PATCH 00/16] vdpa: Add support for vq descriptor mappings

From: Dragos Tatulea
Date: Tue Sep 12 2023 - 09:02:15 EST


This patch series adds support for vq descriptor table mappings which
are used to improve vdpa live migration downtime. The improvement comes
from using smaller mappings which take less time to create and destroy
in hw.

The first part adds the vdpa core changes from Si-Wei [0].

The second part adds support in mlx5_vdpa:
- Refactor the mr code to be able to cleanly add descriptor mappings.
- Add hardware descriptor mr support.
- Properly update iotlb for cvq during ASID switch.
