Subject: [PATCH v12 13/13] Documentation: Add documentation for VDUSE Address Space IDs
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2026 19:48:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260114184839.926884-14-eperezma@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260114184839.926884-1-eperezma@redhat.com>

Address Space IDs allows the VDUSE framework to support devices able to
expose different virtqueues to different part of the drivers.  For
example, to let QEMU handle the net device control virtqueue, so QEMU
always knows the state of the device like mac address or number of
queues enabled, while leaving the dataplane passtrhough to the guest
intact.  This enables live migration.

Expands the VDUSE documentation to explain how to use the new ioctls or
the new struct members of old ioctls.

+Enabling ASID (API version 1)
+------------------------------
+
+VDUSE supports per-address-space identifiers (ASIDs) starting with API
+version 1. Setup it with ioctl(VDUSE_SET_API_VERSION) on `/dev/vduse/control` and
+pass `VDUSE_API_VERSION_1` before creating a new VDUSE instance with
+ioctl(VDUSE_CREATE_DEV).
+
+Afterwards, you can use the member asid of ioctl(VDUSE_IOTLB_GET_INFO) to
+select the address space of the IOTLB you are queryng. Similarly, you can use
+ioctl(VDUSE_IOTLB_GET_FD2) to obtain the file descriptor describing an IOVA
+region of an specific ASID. Example usage:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	static void *iova_to_va(int dev_fd, uint32_t asid, uint64_t iova,
+	                        uint64_t *len)
+	{
+		int fd;
+		void *addr;
+		size_t size;
+		struct vduse_iotlb_entry_v2 entry = { 0 };
+
+		entry.v1.start = iova;
+		entry.v1.last = iova;
+		entry.asid = asid;
+
+		fd = ioctl(dev_fd, VDUSE_IOTLB_GET_FD2, &entry);
+		if (fd < 0)
+			return NULL;
+
+		size = entry.v1.last - entry.v1.start + 1;
+		*len = entry.v1.last - iova + 1;
+		addr = mmap(0, size, perm_to_prot(entry.v1.perm), MAP_SHARED,
+			    fd, entry.v1.offset);
+		close(fd);
+		if (addr == MAP_FAILED)
+			return NULL;
+
+		/*
+		 * Using some data structures such as linked list to store
+		 * the iotlb mapping. The munmap(2) should be called for the
+		 * cached mapping when the corresponding VDUSE_UPDATE_IOTLB
+		 * message is received or the device is reset.
+		 */
+
+		return addr + iova - entry.start;
+	}
