An example is commit b3c8246750b7077add335559341268f2956f6470 ("hw/nvme: Avoid dynamic stack allocation"). libvfio-user returns a sane sizeof(struct dma_sg) value so we don't need to worry about bogus values, so the risk is low here.

I personally actually dislike alloca, I was just following libvfio-user's example code. Plus there's really no valid performance argument here given that the IPC we're doing will dominate everything. > > > + vfu_dma_addr_t vfu_addr = (vfu_dma_addr_t)(region->addr + addr); > > + if (vfu_addr_to_sgl(o->vfu_ctx, vfu_addr, size, sg, 1, PROT_READ) < 0 || > > + vfu_sgl_read(o->vfu_ctx, sg, 1, buf) != 0) { > > + return MEMTX_ERROR; > > + } > > + > > + *val = ldn_he_p(buf, size); > > + > > + return MEMTX_OK; > > +} > > + > > +static MemTxResult vfu_dma_write(void *opaque, hwaddr addr, uint64_t val, > > + unsigned size, MemTxAttrs attrs) > > +{ > > + MemoryRegion *region = opaque; > > + VfuObject *o = VFU_OBJECT(region->owner); > > + uint8_t buf[sizeof(uint64_t)]; > > + > > + trace_vfu_dma_write(region->addr + addr, size); > > + > > + stn_he_p(buf, size, val); > > + > > + dma_sg_t *sg = alloca(dma_sg_size()); > > Same here. > > > + vfu_dma_addr_t vfu_addr = (vfu_dma_addr_t)(region->addr + addr); > > + if (vfu_addr_to_sgl(o->vfu_ctx, vfu_addr, size, sg, 1, PROT_WRITE) < 0 || > > + vfu_sgl_write(o->vfu_ctx, sg, 1, buf) != 0) { > > + return MEMTX_ERROR; > > + } > > + > > + return MEMTX_OK; > > +} > > + > > +static const MemoryRegionOps vfu_dma_ops = { > > + .read_with_attrs = vfu_dma_read, > > + .write_with_attrs = vfu_dma_write, > > + .endianness = DEVICE_HOST_ENDIAN, > > + .valid = { > > + .min_access_size = 1, > > + .max_access_size = 8, > > + .unaligned = true, > > + }, > > + .impl = { > > + .min_access_size = 1, > > + .max_access_size = 8, > > + }, > > +}; > > + > > static void dma_register(vfu_ctx_t *vfu_ctx, vfu_dma_info_t *info) > > { > > VfuObject *o = vfu_get_private(vfu_ctx); > > @@ -308,17 +365,30 @@ static void dma_register(vfu_ctx_t *vfu_ctx, vfu_dma_info_t *info) > > g_autofree char *name = NULL; > > struct iovec *iov = &info->iova; > > > > - if (!info->vaddr) { > > - return; > > - } > > - > > name = g_strdup_printf("mem-%s-%"PRIx64"", o->device, > > - (uint64_t)info->vaddr); > > + (uint64_t)iov->iov_base); > > > > subregion = g_new0(MemoryRegion, 1); > > > > - memory_region_init_ram_ptr(subregion, NULL, name, > > - iov->iov_len, info->vaddr); > > + if (info->vaddr) { > > + memory_region_init_ram_ptr(subregion, OBJECT(o), name, > > + iov->iov_len, info->vaddr); > > + } else { > > + /* > > + * Note that I/O regions' MemoryRegionOps handle accesses of at most 8 > > + * bytes at a time, and larger accesses are broken down.

Wire up support for DMA for the case where the vfio-user client does not provide mmap()-able file descriptors, but DMA requests must be performed via the VFIO-user protocol. This installs an indirect memory region, which already works for pci_dma_{read,write}, and pci_dma_map works thanks to the existing DMA bounce buffering support. Note that while simple scenarios work with this patch, there's a known race condition in libvfio-user that will mess up the communication channel. See https://github.com/nutanix/libvfio-user/issues/279 for details as well as a proposed fix.
