[PATCH v5 7/8] vfio: Permit VFIO to work with pinned importers
From: Leon Romanovsky
Date: Sat Jan 24 2026 - 14:19:36 EST
From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxx>
Till now VFIO has rejected pinned importers, largely to avoid being used
with the RDMA pinned importer that cannot handle a move_notify() to revoke
access.
Using dma_buf_attach_revocable() it can tell the difference between pinned
importers that support the flow described in dma_buf_invalidate_mappings()
and those that don't.
Thus permit compatible pinned importers.
This is one of two items IOMMUFD requires to remove its private interface
to VFIO's dma-buf.
