In order to support running vdpa using vritio_vdpa driver, we need to create a different kind of MR, one that has 1:1 mapping, since the addresses referring to virtqueues are dma addresses. We create the 1:1 MR in mlx5_vdpa_dev_add() only in case firmware supports the general capability umem_uid_0. The reason for that is that 1:1 MRs must be created with uid == 0 while virtqueue objects can be created with uid == 0 only when the firmware capability is on. If the set_map() callback is called with new translations provided through iotlb, the driver will destroy the 1:1 MR and create a regular one.

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.
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.
