[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 7/8] VFIO: Add new IOCTL for IOMMU TLB invalidate propagation

[Liu, Yi L]

From: "Liu, Yi L" <address@hidden>

This patch adds VFIO_IOMMU_TLB_INVALIDATE to propagate IOMMU TLB
invalidate request from guest to host.

In the case of SVM virtualization on VT-d, host IOMMU driver has
no knowledge of caching structure updates unless the guest
invalidation activities are passed down to the host. So a new
IOCTL is needed to propagate the guest cache invalidation through
VFIO.
