The existing shared memory gets more extensively used for > this purpose. As there could be multiple secondary processes, a static > storage (local to process) is also added. > > As the reserved virtual address for UAR remap is a PMD global resource, this > doesn't need to be stored in the device priv structure, but in the PMD global > data. > > Signed-off-by: Yongseok Koh <ys...@mellanox.com>
