Hi Akihiko,

Subject: Re: [PATCH v8 09/10] virtio-gpu-dmabuf: Improve error handling
with 'Error **' and err enum

On 2026/02/28 7:13, Vivek Kasireddy wrote:
Make the error handling more robust in virtio_gpu_init_udmabuf()
by introducing 'Error **' parameter to capture errors and using an
enum from VFIO to categorize Guest and Host errors. This allows
for better error reporting and handling of errors from
virtio_gpu_create_udmabuf() and virtio_gpu_remap_dmabuf().

I failed to point out one thing for naming of the enum. The name should
express if the error is caused by invalid iov or something else. Then
virtio-gpu decides how to recover the error; it's virtio-gpu who knows
the iov is from the guest and decides to report a guest error, not vfio.
Otherwise, it reports a host error.
So, it sounds like you are suggesting that there needs to be three enum
values:
enum {
     /* Guest is responsible for this error */
     VFIO_DMABUF_CREATE_GUEST_ERROR = -1,
     /* Guest is at fault as the IOVEC passed in is invalid */
     VFIO_DMABUF_CREATE_INVALID_IOV_ERROR = -2,
     /* Host is at fault for this error */
     VFIO_DMABUF_CREATE_HOST_ERROR = -3,
}

vfio doesn't know if the guest or the host is responsible, so it cannot make use of VFIO_DMABUF_CREATE_GUEST_ERROR and VFIO_DMABUF_CREATE_HOST_ERROR.


Or, please let me know in detail what changes you would like to see.

A possible combination of values is as follows:

- VFIO_DMABUF_CREATE_ERR_UNSPEC
- VFIO_DMABUF_CREATE_ERR_INVALID_IOV

I took the example of VIRTIO_GPU_RESP_ERR_UNSPEC and VIRTIO_GPU_RESP_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER for naming.

This error_prepend() is redundant. The error messages
virtio_gpu_create_udmabuf() emits already suggests they are problems
with DMA-BUF.
Ok, I'll drop the error_prepend().
