This is the implementation of the VFIO ioctl calls to handle
the AQIC interception and use GISA to handle interrupts.

It seems you always use cmd & 0xffff only. What if there is other stuff
in the remaining bits of cmd? Do you plan to ignore it in any case, or
should you actively check that there is nothing in it?

I do not think that the ioctl interface should reflect the hardware
interface.
The ioctl interface ignores the remaining bits.
We ignore the FC because we obviously want to make a AQIC FC=3
We ignore the T bit.

But we receive the information from the intercepting software, i.e. QEMU
which should I think do the checks before using the ioctl interface.

Yes, it should; but you still can't know whether it actually did...

I do not care, I just ignore these bits.



It seemed easier to me to pass the complete registers and to ignore some
bits in them. In case we get any change in the future
But we could also only pass the APQN

I'd prefer to use a well-defined structure that explicitly handles the
userspace<->kernel communication. Not that we start relying on implicit
assumptions and then things break when userspace does something
different...


OK, I can pass a u16 in the ioctl parameters and explicitly reserve the ignored bits.

Thanks for the review.

Regards,
Pierre
