When handling introspection commands from tools built with older or
newer versions of the introspection API, the receiving thread silently
accepts smaller/larger messages, but it replies with messages related to
current/kernel version. Smaller introspection event replies are accepted
too. However, larger messages for event replies are not allowed.
Even if an introspection tool can use the API version returned by the
KVMI_GET_VERSION command to check the supported features, the most
important usage of this command is to avoid sending newer versions of
event replies that the kernel side doesn't know. On larger messages,
the introspection socket will be closed.
Any attempt from the device manager to explicitly disallow this command
through the KVM_INTROSPECTION_COMMAND ioctl will get -EPERM, unless all
commands are disallowed (using id=-1), in which case KVMI_GET_VERSION
is silently allowed, without error.

+Commands
+--------
+
+The following C structures are meant to be used directly when communicating
+over the wire. The peer that detects any size mismatch should simply close
+the connection and report the error.

+1. KVMI_GET_VERSION
+-------------------
+
+:Architectures: all
+:Versions: >= 1
+:Parameters: none
+:Returns:
+
+::
+
+ struct kvmi_error_code;
+ struct kvmi_get_version_reply {
+ __u32 version;
+ __u32 max_msg_size;
+ };
+
+Returns the introspection API version and the largest accepted message
+size (useful for variable length messages).
+
+This command is always allowed and successful.
+
+The messages used for introspection commands/events might be extended
+in future versions and while the kernel will accept commands with
+shorter messages (older versions) or larger messages (newer versions,
+ignoring the extra information), it will not accept event replies with
+larger messages.
+
+The introspection tool should use this command to identify the features
+supported by the kernel side and what messages must be used for event
+replies.
