We use to have message like:
struct vhost_msg {
int type;
union {
struct vhost_iotlb_msg iotlb;
__u8 padding[64];
};
};
Unfortunately, there will be a hole of 32bit in 64bit machine because
of the alignment. This leads a different formats between 32bit API and
64bit API. What's more it will break 32bit program running on 64bit
machine.
So fixing this by introducing a new message type with an explicit
32bit reserved field after type like:
struct vhost_msg_v2 {
__u32 type;
__u32 reserved;
union {
struct vhost_iotlb_msg iotlb;
__u8 padding[64];
};
};
We will have a consistent ABI after switching to use this. To enable
this capability, introduce a new ioctl (VHOST_SET_BAKCEND_FEATURE) for
userspace to enable this feature (VHOST_BACKEND_F_IOTLB_V2).
