@hwpt_type is defined as enum iommu_hwpt_type
in include/uapi/linux/iommufd.h. The returned
length is the corresponding sizeof driver data
structures in include/uapi/linux/iommufd.h.
-EOPNOTSUPP would be returned if the input
@hwpt_type is not supported by the driver.
Can this be merged with earlier @hw_info callback? That will already report a list of supported hwpt types. is there a problem to further describe the data length for each type in that interface?
Yi and I had a last minute talk before he sent this version actually... This version of hw_info no longer reports a list of supported hwpt types. We previously did that in a bitmap, but we found that a bitmap will not be sufficient eventually if there are more than 64 hwpt_types.
And this domain_alloc_user_data_len might not be necessary, because in this version the IOMMUFD core doesn't really care about the actual data_len since it copies the data into the ucmd_buffer, i.e. we would probably only need a bool op like "hwpt_type_is_supported".
Thanks Nic
