In linux kernel, it's defined as\nVFIO_REGION_INFO_CAP_SPARSE_MMAP. Sparse mmap means instead of\nmmap whole BAR region into DPDK process, only mmap part of the\nBAR region after getting sparse mmap information from kernel.\nFor the rest of BAR region that is not mmap-ed, DPDK process\ncan use pread/pwrite system calls to access. Sparse mmap is\nuseful when kernel does not want userspace to mmap whole BAR\nregion, or kernel wants to control over access to specific BAR\nregion. Vendors can choose to enable this feature or not for\ntheir devices in their specific kernel modules.\n\nIn this patchset:\n\nPatch 1-3 is mainly for introducing BAR access APIs so that\ndriver could use them to access specific BAR using pread/pwrite\nsystem calls when part of the BAR is not mmap-able. Patch 4\nadds the VFIO sparse mmap support finally.\n\nv2:\n1. add PCI device internal structure in bus/pci/windows/pci.c\n2. fix parameter type error\n\nChenbo Xia (3):\n bus/pci: introduce an internal representation of PCI device\n bus/pci: avoid depending on private value in kernel source\n bus/pci: introduce helper for MMIO read and write\n\nMiao Li (1):\n bus/pci: add VFIO sparse mmap support\n\n drivers/bus/pci/bsd/pci.c | 35 +++-\n drivers/bus/pci/linux/pci.c | 78 +++++--\n drivers/bus/pci/linux/pci_init.h | 14 +-\n drivers/bus/pci/linux/pci_uio.c | 22 ++\n drivers/bus/pci/linux/pci_vfio.c | 335 +++++++++++++++++++++++++------\n drivers/bus/pci/pci_common.c | 12 +-\n drivers/bus/pci/private.h | 25 ++-\n drivers/bus/pci/rte_bus_pci.h | 48 +++++\n drivers/bus/pci/version.map | 3 +\n drivers/bus/pci/windows/pci.c | 14 +-\n lib/eal/include/rte_vfio.h | 1 -\n 11 files changed, 491 insertions(+), 96 deletions(-)" }
