vfio: selftests: Align BAR mmaps for efficient IOMMU mapping

2026-01-19T17:06:30+00:00

Update vfio_pci_bar_map() to align BAR mmaps for efficient huge page mappings. The manual mmap alignment can be removed once mmap(!MAP_FIXED) on vfio device fds improves to automatically return well-aligned addresses. Also add MADV_HUGEPAGE, which encourages the kernel to use huge pages (e.g. when /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled is set to "madvise"). Drop MAP_FILE from mmap(). It is an ignored compatibility flag.

vfio: selftests: Split libvfio.h into separate header files

2025-11-28T17:58:07+00:00

Split out the contents of libvfio.h into separate header files, but keep libvfio.h as the top-level include that all tests can use. Put all new header files into a libvfio/ subdirectory to avoid future name conflicts in include paths when libvfio is used by other selftests like KVM. No functional change intended.

Rename vfio_util.h to libvfio.h to match the name of libvfio.mk. No functional change intended.
