VDUSE is a framework that makes it +possible to implement software-emulated vDPA devices in userspace. And +to make it simple, the emulated vDPA device's control path is handled in +the kernel and only the data path is implemented in the userspace. + +Note that only virtio block device is supported by VDUSE framework now, +which can reduce security risks when the userspace process that implements +the data path is run by an unprivileged user. The Support for other device +types can be added after the security issue is clarified or fixed in the future. + +Start/Stop VDUSE devices +------------------------ + +VDUSE devices are started as follows: + +1.

During the mapping, unmapping, the driver will copy the data from +the original buffer to the bounce buffer and back, depending on the direction of +the transfer. And the bounce-buffer addresses will be mapped into the user address +space instead of the original one.
