Hi Alex,
Eric asked if we will to have data strcut other than struct iommu_nesting_info
type in the struct vfio_iommu_type1_info_cap_nesting @info[] field. I'm not
quit sure on it. I guess the answer may be not as VFIO's nesting support should
based on IOMMU UAPI. how about your opinion?
+#define VFIO_IOMMU_TYPE1_INFO_CAP_NESTING 3
+
+/*
+ * Reporting nesting info to user space.
+ *
+ * @info: the nesting info provided by IOMMU driver. Today
+ * it is expected to be a struct iommu_nesting_info
+ * data.
+ */
+struct vfio_iommu_type1_info_cap_nesting {
+ struct vfio_info_cap_header header;
+ __u32 flags;
+ __u32 padding;
+ __u8 info[];
+};
