Nit, but why dev_warn() instead of dev_err()? It looks like this was
copied, but I wonder if the other spot should be a dev_err() instead of
a dev_warn too?

Other than that, LGTM.

Thanks for the review. Agreed — this is a hard failure on the device
add path, and the rest of pds_vdpa_dev_add() already uses dev_err().
I'll send a standalone [PATCH v2] with that change and your
Reviewed-by.

The matching "Fail to map vq notify" in vp_vdpa.c is pre-existing; I
can clean that up in a separate patch if you prefer.

You could try sending as a separate patch. I was just pointing out that, at least for pds_vdpa, this isn't a warning, but an error. I believe that's the case for vp_vdpa.c too.

Thanks,

Brett
