This commit adds a new vDPA netlink attribution
VDPA_ATTR_VDPA_DEV_SUPPORTED_FEATURES. Userspace can query
features of vDPA devices through this new attr.

Fixes: a64917bc2e9b vdpa: (Provide interface to read driver feature)
Missing the "" in the line.
I reviewed the patches again.

However, this is not the fix.
A fix cannot add a new UAPI.

Code is already considering negotiated driver features to return the device config space.
Hence it is fine.

This patch intents to provide device features to user space.
First what vdpa device are capable of, are already returned by features attribute on the management device.
This is done in commit [1].

The only reason to have it is, when one management device indicates that feature is supported, but device may end up not supporting this feature if such feature is shared with other devices on same physical device.
For example all VFs may not be symmetric after large number of them are in use. In such case features bit of management device can differ (more features) than the vdpa device of this VF.
Hence, showing on the device is useful.

As mentioned before in V2, commit [1] has wrongly named the attribute to VDPA_ATTR_DEV_SUPPORTED_FEATURES.
It should have been, VDPA_ATTR_DEV_MGMTDEV_SUPPORTED_FEATURES.
Because it is in UAPI, and since we don't want to break compilation of iproute2,
It cannot be renamed anymore.

Given that, we do not want to start trend of naming device attributes with additional _VDPA_ to it as done in this patch.
Error in commit [1] was exception.

Hence, please reuse VDPA_ATTR_DEV_SUPPORTED_FEATURES to return for device features too.


This will probably break or confuse the existing userspace?

Thanks



Secondly, you need output example for showing device features in the commit log.

3rd, please drop the fixes tag as new capability is not a fix.
