Ok. so it's a union like the below, and in this patch may be only an empty union can be added as the struct iommu_hwpt_intel_vtd and struct iommu_hwpt_arm_smmuv3 would be added by the vendor nesting patch series. union iommu_hwpt_alloc_user_data { struct iommu_hwpt_intel_vtd vtd; struct iommu_hwpt_arm_smmuv3 smmuv3; }; Regards, Yi Liu
