[PATCH v4 2/4] vduse: add VDUSE_GET_FEATURES ioctl

From: Eugenio Pérez

Date: Tue Jul 07 2026 - 08:27:00 EST


Add an ioctl to allow VDUSE instances to query the available features
supported by the kernel module.

Signed-off-by: Eugenio Pérez <eperezma@xxxxxxxxxx>
---
v4:
* Store the features in VDUSE control instead of vduse device config.

v3:
* Remove check for API_VERSION < 2
* Add comment about struct vduse_dev_config:vduse_features is only valid
if VDUSE_GET_FEATURES success.

v2:
* return -EINVAL if ioctl called with version < 2, so userland visible
reply is kept (Jason).
