This patches extend the vhost IOTLB API to accept batch updating hints form userspace. When userspace wants update the device IOTLB in a batch, it may do: 1) Write vhost_iotlb_msg with VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_BEGIN flag 2) Perform a batch of IOTLB updating via VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE/INVALIDATE 3) Write vhost_iotlb_msg with VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_END flag Vhost-vdpa may decide to batch the IOMMU/IOTLB updating in step 3 when vDPA device support set_map() ops. This is useful for the vDPA device that want to know all the mappings to tweak their own DMA translation logic. For vDPA device that doesn't require set_map(), no behavior changes. This capability is advertised via VHOST_BACKEND_F_IOTLB_BATCH capability.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
