Kernel access is the mode that VFIO "mdevs" use. In this case there is no struct device and no IOMMU connection. iommufd acts as a record keeper for accesses and returns the actual struct pages back to the caller to use however they need. eg with kmap or the DMA API. Each caller must create a struct iommufd_access with iommufd_access_create(), similar to how iommufd_device_bind() works. Using this struct the caller can access blocks of IOVA using iommufd_access_pin_pages() or iommufd_access_rw(). Callers must provide a callback that immediately unpins any IOVA being used within a range. This happens if userspace unmaps the IOVA under the pin. The implementation forwards the access requests directly to the iopt infrastructure that manages the iopt_pages_access.

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.
