[RFC 0/5] virtiofs: map buffer out of virtqueue lock

[Eugenio Pérez]

This is useful for some setups like swiotlb or VDUSE where the DMA
operations are expensive and/or need to be performed with a write lock.

After applying this patch, fio read test goes from 1201MiB/s to
1211MiB/s.

Sending this series to obtain feedback if this is the right way to go.

Q: Do we need virtqueue_map_sgs? XDP directly call dma_map. Need to
profile.
TODO: Profile multiqueue.
TODO: Handling errors.
TODO: Do the same for hiprio queue.
TODO: Can we batch maps? virtiofs always sends many buffers.

Eugenio Pérez (4):
  vduse: add virtio_fs to allowed dev id
  virtiofs: Move stack sg to fuse_req
  virtio_ring: add virtqueue premapped out/in buffers support
  virtiofs: perform DMA operations out of the spinlock

Jason Wang (1):
  virtio_ring: introduce virtqueue_map/unmap_sgs()
