They have enough information to show/implement element access of a buffer, but some of the fields (e.g. `strides`) aren't used when lowering. But at least for `strides`, the field can be set to a value that is consistent with the parent buffer. For `axis_separators`, the view may not have sufficient information to determine the flattened shape. That said, being able to determine the physical dimensionality of a `tir::Buffer`, regardless of whether it is a view or the original, is useful. I like your idea of relaxing the `CHECK_GT` and `CHECK_LT` conditions to `CHECK_GE` and `CHECK_LE`, as it would let these cases be better expressed. That would allow a physical axis with extent 1 to be determined from an empty set of logical axes. (This change all came up from [this failing unit test](https://github.com/apache/tvm/pull/17219/files#diff-6c21ac3bae4a648708cb2b84c1e975dd9b80b25dada4fc964ed6a2e688b2913cR99). The `B_subregion0` buffer couldn't satisfy the constraints `len(view.axis_separators) < len(view.shape)` and `len(view.axis_separators) == len(backing_alloc_buf.axis_separators)` at the same time.) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
