DMA logging allows a device to internally record what DMAs the device is initiating and report them back to userspace. It is part of the VFIO migration infrastructure that allows implementing dirty page tracking during the pre copy phase of live migration. Only DMA WRITEs are logged, and this API is not connected to VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_MIG_DEVICE_STATE. This patch introduces the DMA logging involved uAPIs. It uses the FEATURE ioctl with its GET/SET/PROBE options as of below. It exposes a PROBE option to detect if the device supports DMA logging. It exposes a SET option to start device DMA logging in given IOVAs ranges. It exposes a SET option to stop device DMA logging that was previously started. It exposes a GET option to read back and clear the device DMA log. Extra details exist as part of vfio.h per a specific option.

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.
