My earlier comment was mostly that it sounded like there was no place for returning -errno, but it seems it's not that binary and the Error* is the thing that really matters here. > I think it would have value to probe early the host IOMMU device for > its HW features.

[0] https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/4e85db04-fbaa-4a6b-b133-59170c471...@oracle.com/ The gotcha in my opinion is that I cache IOMMUFD specific data returned by the GET_HW_INFO ioctl inside a new HostIOMMUDeviceCaps::iommufd. The reason being that vfio_device_get_aw_bits() has a hidden assumption that the container is already populated with the list of allowed iova ranges, which is not true for the first device. So rather than have partial set of caps initialized, I essentially ended up with fetching the raw caps and store them, and serialize caps into named features (e.g. caps::aw_bits) in HostIOMMUDevice::realize(). > We are reaching soft freeze, in ~10 days.
