  Since dmadev is introduced in 21.11, to avoid the overhead of vhost DMA
abstraction layer and simplify application logics, this patch integrates
dmadev in asynchronous data path.

When you rebase to the next version, please ensure to rework all the 
logs to follow the new standard:
VHOST_LOG_CONFIG(ERR,"(%s) .....", dev->ifname, ...);

I'm not fan of the poll_factor, I think it is too complex for the user
to know what value he should set.

Also, I would like that the API only registers one DMA channel at a
time and let the application call it multiple times. Dong that, user can
still use the DMA channels that could be registered.

I don't understand the point of this new field. But it can be removed

I would consider introducing a vhost_async_dma_transfer_one function to
avoid nesting too much loops and make the code cleaner.

The DMA channel is protected by a lock, and we check the capacity before
initiating the copy.
So I don't expect rte_dma_copy() to fail because of lack of capacity. If
an error happens, that is a serious one.

So, I wonder whether having a SW fallback makes sense. Code would be
much simpler if we just exit early if an error happens. Logging an error
message instead would help debugging. Certainly with rate limiting not
to flood the log file.

I think it would better be moved out of the loop to avoid doing the
check for every segment while only the last one has a chance to match.

Braces on the else as you have braces for the if statement.

I wonder whether we could just remove this submit.
I don't expect completions to happen between two packets as the DMA
channel is protected by a lock, so my understanding is once the DMA ring
is full, we just end-up exiting early because DMA channel capacity is 
checked for every packet.

Removing it will maybe improve performance a (very) little bit, but will
certainly make the code simpler to follow.

As said below, I think we could get rid off the SW fallback.
But in case we didn't, I think it would be prefferable to change the
rte_vhost_iovec struct to have both the iova and the VA, that would make
the code simpler.

Also, while looking at this, I notice the structs rte_vhost_iov_iter and
rte_vhost_iovec are still part of the Vhost API, but it should not be
necessary now since application no more need to know about it.

It seems so, and users need to know DMA offloading details before setting it.
The simple way is setting the max copies to check by rte_dma_completed to
9728/2048*32, where 9728 is equal to VIRTIO_MAX_RX_PKTLEN and 32 is
MAX_PKT_BURST. It should be able to cover most of cases.

Sure, I will change it.

This is for handling lacking of batch_copy elements in SW fallback.

That's correct. If error really happens in this case, it means DMA definitely
has something wrong. Better to stop async data-path and debug. SW fallback
may hide this serious issue.

If no objections, I will remove SW fallback but adding an error log.

I didn't get the point. How to get rid of the loop? Do you suggest to do SW copy
for all left copies once one DMA error happens (if SW copy is kept)?

+Vhost asynchronous data path
+----------------------------
+
+Vhost asynchronous data path leverages DMA devices to offload memory
+copies from the CPU and it is implemented in an asynchronous way. It
+enables applications, like OVS, to save CPU cycles and hide memory copy
+overhead, thus achieving higher throughput.
+
+Vhost doesn't manage DMA devices and applications, like OVS, need to
+manage and configure DMA devices. Applications need to tell vhost what
+DMA devices to use in every data path function call. This design enables
+the flexibility for applications to dynamically use DMA channels in
+different function modules, not limited in vhost.
+
+In addition, vhost supports M:N mapping between vrings and DMA virtual
+channels. Specifically, one vring can use multiple different DMA channels
+and one DMA channel can be shared by multiple vrings at the same time.
+The reason of enabling one vring to use multiple DMA channels is that
+it's possible that more than one dataplane threads enqueue packets to
+the same vring with their own DMA virtual channels. Besides, the number
+of DMA devices is limited. For the purpose of scaling, it's necessary to
+support sharing DMA channels among vrings.
