I confirm that this series doesn't break the current support for
VFIO_IOMMU_TYPE1_NESTING with an SMMUv3. That said...
If the SMMU does not support stage-2 then there is a change in behavior
(untested): after the domain is silently switched to stage-1 by the SMMU
driver, VFIO will now query nesting info and obtain -ENODEV. Instead of
succeding as before, the VFIO ioctl will now fail. I believe that's a fix
rather than a regression, it should have been like this since the
beginning. No known userspace has been using VFIO_IOMMU_TYPE1_NESTING so
far, so I don't think it should be a concern.
And if userspace queries the nesting properties using the new ABI
introduced in this patchset, it will obtain an empty struct. I think
that's acceptable, but it may be better to avoid adding the nesting cap if
@format is 0?
Thanks,
Jean
