When the ioctl returns, VMM simply moves the CONS index next to CMD_SYNC upon a success, or stops the index at the faulty command upon a failure. > So userspace would have to read the event FD > before returning to be correct? > > Maybe the kernel can somehow return a flag to indicate the event fd > has data in it? > > If yes then all errors would flow through the event fd? I think it'd be nicer to return an immediate error to stop guest CMDQ to raise a fault there accordingly, similar to returning a -EIO for a bad STE in your SMMU part-3 series. If the "return a flag" is an errno of the ioctl, it could work by reading from a separate memory that belongs to the event fd. Yet, in this case, an eventfd signal (assuming there is one to trigger VMM's fault handler) becomes unnecessary, since the invalidation ioctl is already handling it?
