Define interfaces that allow the underlying memory object of an iova range to be mapped to a new host virtual address in the host process: - VFIO_DMA_UNMAP_FLAG_VADDR for VFIO_IOMMU_UNMAP_DMA - VFIO_DMA_MAP_FLAG_VADDR flag for VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA - VFIO_UPDATE_VADDR extension for VFIO_CHECK_EXTENSION Unmap vaddr invalidates the host virtual address in an iova range, and blocks vfio translation of host virtual addresses. DMA to already-mapped pages continues. Map vaddr updates the base VA and resumes translation. See comments in uapi/linux/vfio.h for more details.

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.
