Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 1/7] queue_api: add support for fetching per queue DMA dev
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2025 20:11:52 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250820171214.3597901-3-dtatulea@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250820171214.3597901-1-dtatulea@nvidia.com>
For zerocopy (io_uring, devmem), there is an assumption that the
parent device can do DMA. However that is not always the case:
- Scalable Function netdevs [1] have the DMA device in the grandparent.
- For Multi-PF netdevs [2] queues can be associated to different DMA
devices.
This patch introduces the a queue based interface for allowing drivers
to expose a different DMA device for zerocopy.
