We use to have message like:
struct vhost_msg {
int type;
union {
struct vhost_iotlb_msg iotlb;
__u8 padding[64];
};
};
Unfortunately, there will be a hole of 32bit in 64bit machine because
of the alignment. This leads a different formats between 32bit API and
64bit API. What's more it will break 32bit program running on 64bit
machine.
So fixing this by introducing a new message type with an explicit
32bit reserved field after type like:
struct vhost_msg_v2 {
__u32 type;
__u32 reserved;
union {
struct vhost_iotlb_msg iotlb;
__u8 padding[64];
};
};
We will have a consistent ABI after switching to use this. To enable
this capability, introduce a new ioctl (VHOST_SET_BAKCEND_FEATURE) for
userspace to enable this feature (VHOST_BACKEND_F_IOTLB_V2).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
