Yes, I agree to replace the standalone __64 pasid with this struct.
Looks more inline with address selective info., Just to double confirm
the new struct.

Jean, will you put this in your sva/api repo?

struct iommu_cache_invalidate_info {
#define IOMMU_CACHE_INVALIDATE_INFO_VERSION_1 1
__u32 version;
/* IOMMU paging structure cache */
#define IOMMU_CACHE_INV_TYPE_IOTLB (1 << 0) /* IOMMU IOTLB */
#define IOMMU_CACHE_INV_TYPE_DEV_IOTLB (1 << 1) /* Device IOTLB
*/
#define IOMMU_CACHE_INV_TYPE_PASID (1 << 2) /* PASID cache */
#define IOMMU_CACHE_TYPE_NR (3)
__u8 cache;
__u8 granularity;
__u8 padding[2];
union {
struct iommu_inv_pasid_info pasid_info;
struct iommu_inv_addr_info addr_info;
};
};
