The new "use_va" module parameter (default: true) is used in
vdpa_alloc_device() to inform the vDPA framework that the device
supports VA.
vringh is initialized to use VA only when "use_va" is true and the
user's mm has been bound. So, only when the bus supports user VA
(e.g. vhost-vdpa).
vdpasim_mm_work_fn work is used to serialize the binding to a new
address space when the .bind_mm callback is invoked, and unbinding
when the .unbind_mm callback is invoked.
Call mmget_not_zero()/kthread_use_mm() inside the worker function
to pin the address space only as long as needed, following the
documentation of mmget() in include/linux/sched/mm.h:
* Never use this function to pin this address space for an
* unbounded/indefinite amount of time.
