[RFC PATCH v5 1/3] vfio: platform: add device properties skeleton and user API

From: Baptiste Reynal
Date: Wed Sep 30 2015 - 05:09:31 EST


From: Antonios Motakis <a.motakis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch introduces an API that allows to return device properties (OF
or ACPI) of a device bound to the vfio-platform/vfio-amba driver and the
skeleton of the implementation for VFIO_PLATFORM. Information about any
device node bound by VFIO_PLATFORM should be queried via the introduced
ioctl VFIO_DEVICE_GET_DEV_PROPERTY.

The user needs to know the name and the data type of the property he is
accessing.

v4 -> v5:
- add a limit size to namesz (128)
- remove flags propagation
- replace E2BIG with ENOSPC when the buffer size is too small
- remove useless affectation

v3 -> v4:
- added flags placeholder in vfio_dev_properties
- ioctl returns -E2BIG if the buffer is too small
- details VFIO_DEVICE_GET_DEV_PROPERTY documentation
