In iommu_get_resv_regions(), param list is an argument supplied by caller,
into which callee is supposed to insert resv regions.
In other words, this 'list' argument is expected to be an empty list,
so make an explicit annotation on it.

I don't understand why the input list *must* be empty. This interface
Yeah, the commit message really doesn't make much sense :(
Because @list is an output-only argument, which is supposed to be filled
by caller(inserting elements into it). If it's not empty, it's an inputing
argument, in which case caller will take existing node (in @list) into account,
and insert new nodes before/after them.
Please lemme put it another way, if list argment is not empty:
Before calling:
list: head->A
After calling
list: head->A->B->C
It will confuse caller cuz it can't tell whether A is a valid returned
by callee.
If a caller would be confused by appending to a non-empty list then that
caller should avoid passing a non-empty list. But that's not the API's
problem; in general, appending to non-empty lists is absolutely a valid
thing to do, it's kind of the point of using a list rather than, say,
returning an array. It seems entirely reasonable that a caller might
want to collect the reserved regions for multiple groups into a single
list for its own convenience, and we have absolutely no reason to
disallow that.
Note also that your arbitrary input vs. output argument rule
fundamentally couldn't work for this API, since actual implementations
of ops->get_resv_regions already *do* build up the list by passing it
around multiple different helper APIs internally (look at the call path
through arm_smmu_get_resv_regions(), for instance).
Thanks,
Robin.
