This is a little excessive, as I suspected. How about providing a
default .supports_pci_p2pdma routine that returns false, so that
the op is always available (non-null)? By "default", maybe that
means either requiring an init_the_ops_struct() routine to be
used, and/or checking all the users of struct nvme_ctrl_ops.
Honestly that sounds much more messy to me than simply checking if it's
NULL before using it (which is a common, accepted pattern for ops).
OK, it's a minor suggestion, so feel free to ignore if you prefer it
the other way, sure.
Another idea: maybe you don't really need a bool .supports_pci_p2pdma()
routine at all, because the existing .flags really is about right.
You just need the flags to be filled in dynamically. So, do that
during nvme_pci setup/init time: that's when this module would call
dma_pci_p2pdma_supported().
If the flag is filled in dynamically, then the ops struct would have to
be non-constant. Ops structs should be constant for security reasons.
Hadn't thought about keeping ops structs constant. OK.
