As I just mentioned in my reply to Yan, I'm wondering if
VFIO_CHECK_EXTENSION would be a better way to expose this. The
difference is relatively trivial, but currently the only flag
set by VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO is to indicate the presence of a field in
the returned structure. I think this is largely true of other INFO
ioctls within vfio as well and we're already using the
VFIO_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl to check supported IOMMU models, and IOMMU
cache coherency. We'd simply need to define a VFIO_DIRTY_PGS_IOMMU
value (9) and return 1 for that case. Then when we enable support for
dirt pages that can span multiple mappings, we can add a v2 extensions,
or "MULTI" variant of this extension, since it should be backwards
compatible.
The v2/multi version will again require that the user provide a zero'd
bitmap, but I don't think that should be a problem as part of the
definition of that version (we won't know if the user is using v1 or
v2, but a v1 user should only retrieve bitmaps that exactly match
existing mappings, where all bits will be written). Thanks,
Alex
