2019-06-19doc: fix documentation about UIO_MEM_LOGICAL usingYang Yingliang
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 Hemminger
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 Hemminger
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 Hemminger
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>
