[PATCH 0/3] *** vhost_user: configure memory slots ***

[Pravin M Bathija]

add protocol feature support add and removal of memory
regions/slots dynamically.
this patch set has been tested with multiple instances of fio
connected via libblkio to spdk target backed unix domain socket.
please apply this this patch-set to dpdk mainline as well as
version 25.03.0.

[PATCH 3/3] vhost_user: support for memory regions

[Pravin M Bathija]

From: Pravin M Bathija <pravin.m.bathija.dev@gmail.com>

- modify data structures and add functions to support
  add and remove memory regions/slots
- define VHOST_MEMORY_MAX_NREGIONS & modify function
  vhost_user_set_mem_table accordingly
- dynamically add new memory slots via vhost_user_add_mem_reg
- remove unused memory slots via vhost_user_rem_mem_reg
- define data structure VhostUserSingleMemReg for single
  memory region
- modify data structures VhostUserRequest & VhostUserMsg

- please apply this this patch-set to dpdk mainline as well as
version 25.03.0.

v2:
- fixed warnings with e-mail address
- fixed warnings with typos
- there is a warning about __rte_packed_begin not being in
pair with __rte_packed_end which on reading the code turns 
out to be false. It is an anomaly of how git-format 
generates the patch and how check-patch checks it.

[PATCH 3/3] vhost_user: support for memory regions

[Pravin M Bathija]

- modify data structures and add functions to support
  add and remove memory regions/slots
- define VHOST_MEMORY_MAX_NREGIONS & modify function
  vhost_user_set_mem_table accordingly
- dynamically add new memory slots via vhost_user_add_mem_reg
- remove unused memory slots via vhost_user_rem_mem_reg
- define data structure VhostUserSingleMemReg for single
  memory region
- modify data structures VhostUserRequest & VhostUserMsg

[PATCH 3/3] vhost_user: support for memory regions

[Pravin M Bathija]

From: Pravin M Bathija <pravin.m.bathija.dev@gmail.com>

- modify data structures and add functions to support
  add and remove memory regions/slots
- define VHOST_MEMORY_MAX_NREGIONS & modify function
  vhost_user_set_mem_table accordingly
- dynamically add new memory slots via vhost_user_add_mem_reg
- remove unused memory slots via vhost_user_rem_mem_reg
- define data structure VhostUserSingleMemReg for single
  memory region
- modify data structures VhostUserRequest & VhostUserMsg

[PATCH 0/3] *** vhost_user: configure memory slots ***

[Pravin M Bathija]

add protocol feature support add and removal of memory
regions/slots dynamically.
this patch set has been tested with multiple instances of fio 
connected via libblkio to spdk target backed unix domain socket.
please apply this this patch-set to dpdk mainline as well as
version 25.03.0.

[PATCH 3/3] vhost_user: support for memory regions

[Pravin M Bathija]

modify data structures and add functions to support
add and remove memory regions/slots.
define VHOST_MEMORY_MAX_NREGIONS & modify function
vhost_user_set_mem_table accordingly.
dynamically add new memory slots via vhost_user_add_mem_reg.
remove unused memory slots via vhost_user_rem_mem_reg.
define data structure VhostUserSingleMemReg for single
memory region.
modify data structures VhostUserRequest & VhostUserMsg.
