The infrastructure is not tied to io_uring and there could be more users in the future. A similar idea was attempted some years ago by Keith [1], from where I borrowed a number of changes. Later it was brough back up to life by Tushar and Vishal. It's an opt-in feature for files, and they need to implement a new file operation to use it. Only NVMe block devices are supported in this series. The user API is built on top of io_uring's "registered buffers", where a dmabuf is registered in a special way, but after it can be used as any other "registered buffer" with IORING_OP_{READ,WRITE}_FIXED requests. It's created via a new file operation and the resulted map is then passed through the I/O stack in a new iterator type. There is some additional infrastructure to glue it together, count requests, manage lifetime and implement invalidation. Tushar, William, Phil did a lot of testing and experimentation on various devices with previous versions of the patch set, and I've received lots of help from Anuj, Kanchan and Nitesh with investigations, testing, and patching. Earlier benchmarks by Anuj for IOMMU optimisations with udmabuf showed: STRICT: before = 570 KIOPS, after = 5.01 MIOPS LAZY: before = 1.93 MIOPS, after = 5.01 MIOPS PASSTHROUGH: before = 5.01 MIOPS, after = 5.01 MIOPS # Patch set structure: - Patches 1-2 introduce internal API and infrastructure mediating io_uring and target subsystem / devices - Patches 3-5: block layer support + prep patches - Patches 6-8 implement NVMe support - Patches 9-13 add io_uring support and uapi. There are some liburing tests that can serve as an example: git: https://github.com/isilence/liburing.git rw-dmabuf-tests-v8 url: https://github.com/isilence/liburing/tree/rw-dmabuf-tests-v8 The patches are based on Jens' for-next.
