I commented elsewhere that you might support passing a null

result).

Why is the ACK mask ~0?

I guess I don't know details about this hypercall (do you document
them somewhere?), so it's hard to judge whether or why this is the
right thing to use.  The enable_mask is just GH_BELL_NONBLOCK,
which is just BIT(32).


I talked to our hypervisor folks and they mentioned we can simplify this. In v12, enable_mask and ack_mask can just be "1" (BIT(0)). We had chosen bit 32 arbitrarily.

I think I don't understand this part of the code well
enough to know this.  What happens if level is false?


If level is false, then guest is assumed to set up IRQ on its side as edge-triggered. In that case, we don't need to configure the enable mask/ack mask because the doorbell flags aren't polled.

Should the "fd" field be signed?  Should it be an int?  (Perhaps
you're trying to define a fixed kernel API, so __s32 if signed would
be better.)


It looked to me like some interfaces use __u32 and some use __s32. Is one technically correct?
