I fully agree, but what I want to say is. Consider: 1) We've already had feature provisioning 2) It would be hard or even impossible to mandate the semantic (consistency) of the features inheritance. I'm fine with the doc, but the mgmt layer should not depend on this and they should use feature provisioning instead. > > 2) or have hierarchy architecture where several layers were placed > > between vDPA and the real hardware > Not sure what it means but I don't get why extra layers are needed.

Just want to go wild because we can't expect how many layers are below vDPA. vDPA core is the right place but the validating should be done during feature provisioning since it's much more easier than trying to mandating code defined behaviour like inheritance. > > > > >> This inheritance predates the exposure of device > >> features, until which user can check into specific features after > >> creation.

It can still work in a passive way, mgmt layer check the device features and only allow the migration among the vDPA devices that have the same device_feature.

Well, this is what has been already done right now before the feature provisioning, the kernel for anyway needs to validate the illegal input from userspace. > Why not do it now > before adding device features provisioning to userspace.

So as discussed before, the kernel has already tried to do validation, if there's any bug, we can fix that. If you meant userspace validation, I'm not sure it is necessary: 1) kernel should do the validation 2) hard to keep forward compatibility, e.g features supported by the mgmt device might not be even known by the userspace.
