This is complimentary part to the proposed LSF/MM topic.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rdma/22df55f8-cf64-4aa8-8c0b-b556c867b926@linux.dev/T/#m85672c860539fdbbc8fe0f5ccabdc05b40269057

This is posted as RFC to get a feedback on proposed split, but RDMA, VFIO and
DMA patches are ready for review and inclusion, the NVMe patches are still in
progress as they require agreement on API first.

Thanks

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The DMA mapping operation performs two steps at one same time: allocates
IOVA space and actually maps DMA pages to that space. This one shot
operation works perfectly for non-complex scenarios, where callers use
that DMA API in control path when they setup hardware.

However in more complex scenarios, when DMA mapping is needed in data
path and especially when some sort of specific datatype is involved,
such one shot approach has its drawbacks.

That approach pushes developers to introduce new DMA APIs for specific
datatype. For example existing scatter-gather mapping functions, or
latest Chuck's RFC series to add biovec related DMA mapping [1] and
probably struct folio will need it too.

These advanced DMA mapping APIs are needed to calculate IOVA size to
allocate it as one chunk and some sort of offset calculations to know
which part of IOVA to map.

Instead of teaching DMA to know these specific datatypes, let's separate
existing DMA mapping routine to two steps and give an option to advanced
callers (subsystems) perform all calculations internally in advance and
map pages later when it is needed.

In this series, three users are converted and each of such conversion
presents different positive gain:
1. RDMA simplifies and speeds up its pagefault handling for
   on-demand-paging (ODP) mode.
2. VFIO PCI live migration code saves huge chunk of memory.
3. NVMe PCI avoids intermediate SG table manipulation and operates
   directly on BIOs.

Thanks
