Any comment about the following query? I think introducing a CC flag for this use
case is over kill.

If you don't think TDX will be able to make use of the SVSM attribute I can look at adding a callback. But I was waiting to see if anyone else had comments, for or against, before re-doing it all.
What about something like this (applied on top of patch 13):
diff --git a/include/linux/tsm.h b/include/linux/tsm.h

Checking the attribute name will give more flexibility, right? Since it is one time
check, it should not be costly, right?
I thought about checking the name(s), but what if in the future another attribute is added, then you have to remember to update multiple places. This way you have an enum that represents the related attributes. Is there a
I think it depends on how you implement the visibility function. If the vendor driver allows all attributes by default and denies few selected ones, you don't have to update the vendor driver for all new attributes. Letting the vendor driver decide whether to support any new attributes makes sense to me.
scenario where you would want to not hide all attributes that are related? String comparisons just seem awkward to me.
I suppose the config_item and configfs_attr could also be supplied on the callback if that's a requirement.
I am ok with enum based checks. But lets see what others think. Personally I think checking config attr name is more flexible.
I think we can do both. Supply the enum, config_item and configfs_attr
and then the callback can decide using the enum and/or the attribute name.
It could be extended to the current extra attributes, too. The enum
could have a TSM_TYPE_EXTRA (for the privlevel, privlevel_floor and
auxblob) and allow those to be hidden as appropriate, too.

Why not add a callback in tsm_ops?
That's an option, too. Either way works for me.
