No, I mean the user tells us how much data they've provided via argsz.
We create minsz the the end of flags and verify argsz includes flags.
Then we proceed to ignore argsz to see if the user has provided the
remainder of the structure.

A user can spam the host logs simply by allocating their quota of
PASIDs and then trying to allocate more, or by specifying min/max such
that they cannot allocate the requested PASID.  If this logging is
necessary for debugging, it should be ratelimited to avoid a DoS on the
host.

Yes, I was even wondering the same for the cache invalidate ioctl, or
whether this is going too far for a general purpose "everything related
to PASIDs" ioctl.  We need to factor usability into the equation too.
I'd be interested in opinions from others here too.  Clearly I don't
like single use, throw-away ioctls, but I can find myself on either
side of the argument that allocation, binding, and invalidating are all
within the domain of PASIDs and could fall within a single ioctl or
they each represent different facets of managing PASIDs and should have
separate ioctls.  Thanks,

Alex
