Subject: [RFC v2 4/4] vduse: Add new ioctl VDUSE_GET_RECONNECT_INFO

In VDUSE_GET_RECONNECT_INFO, the Userspace App can get the map size
and The number of mapping memory pages from the kernel. The userspace
App can use this information to map the pages.

One thing I didn't understand is that, aren't the things we used to
store connection info belong to uAPI? If not, how can we make sure the
connections work across different vendors/implementations. If yes,
where?

The process for this reconnecttion is
A.The first-time connection
1> The userland app checks if the device exists
2> use the ioctl to create the vduse device
3> Mapping the kernel page to userland and save the
App-version/features/other information to this page
4> if the Userland app needs to exit, then the Userland app will only
unmap the page and then exit

B, the re-connection
1> the userland app finds the device is existing
2> Mapping the kernel page to userland
3> check if the information in shared memory is satisfied to
reconnect,if ok then continue to reconnect
4> continue working

For now these information are all from userland,So here the page will
be maintained by the userland App
in the previous code we only saved the api-version by uAPI . if we
need to support reconnection maybe we need to add 2 new uAPI for this,
one of the uAPI is to save the reconnect information and another is
to get the information

maybe something like

struct vhost_reconnect_data {
uint32_t version;
uint64_t features;
uint8_t status;
struct virtio_net_config config;
uint32_t nr_vrings;
};

#define VDUSE_GET_RECONNECT_INFO _IOR (VDUSE_BASE, 0x1c, struct
vhost_reconnect_data)

#define VDUSE_SET_RECONNECT_INFO _IOWR(VDUSE_BASE, 0x1d, struct
vhost_reconnect_data)

Probably, then we can make sure the re-connection works across
different vduse-daemon implementations.

Not sure I get this, but the idea is to map those pages to user space,
any reason we need this uAPI?

Sorry, I didn't write it clearly, I mean if I we don't want to use the
mmap to sync/check the vduse status, we need to add these 2 new uAPIs,
these 2 methods are all ok for me.
For the vq related information still need to use the mmap to sync
