Re: [RFC PATCH v6 09/11] iommufd: Add the vdevice TSM request ioctl

A VMM needs to forward guest-originated TSM commands to the TSM
implementation managing an assigned device. The IOMMUFD vdevice
identifies that device within its vIOMMU and provides the appropriate
dispatch point.

Add IOMMU_VDEVICE_TSM_REQ to send an opaque request to a vdevice and
optionally return a response. Define common operation and guest
architecture identifiers for CCA, SEV and TDX requests.

iommufd_viommu_provider_ops already knows what architecture it is, why bother with these identifiers? Thanks,


The ioctl return value reports dispatch or data transfer errors, while
tsm_code carries the TSM-specific result.

Use sockptr_t for the internal request and response buffers so TSM
implementations are not tied to userspace pointers.
