2019-06-19doc: fix documentation about UIO_MEM_LOGICAL usingYang Yingliang1-2/+2
After commit d4fc5069a394 ("mm: switch s_mem and slab_cache in struct page") page->mapping will be re-used by slab allocations and page->mapping->host will be used in balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() as an inode member but it's not an inode in fact and leads an oops.

2018-03-06uio_hv_generic: support sub-channelsStephen Hemminger1-0/+5
Use sysfs to allow supporting sub-channels. The userspace application makes request to host to create sub-channels and the UIO kernel driver populates the sysfs per-channel directory with a binary attribute file that can be used to read/write ring.

2018-01-10uio_hv_generic: add rescind supportStephen Hemminger1-0/+4
When host rescinds the device, the UIO driver will clear the interrupt state and notify application. The read (or write) on the interrupt FD will then fail with -EIO. This is simpler than adding lots extra uevent stuff inside UIO. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2018-01-10uio_hv_generic: create send and receive buffersStephen Hemminger1-0/+2
Map in receive and send buffers for networking in UIO device. These buffers are special and need to be setup by kernel API's; userspace can not do it. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
