 #Could you share more details on the use case with vhost?
# Are they planning to use this in fast path if so it need to move as fast
path function pointer?
# Assume the use case needs N rte_dma_copy to complete a logical copy at
vhost level. Is the any issue in half-offload, meaning when N th one
successfully completed then only the logical copy is completed. Right?
# There is already nb_desc with which a dma_queue is configured. So if the
application does its accounting properly, it knows how many desc it has
used up and how many completions it has processed.

Would like to understand more details on this API usage.

Sorry for the format issue, sending from mobile.
