[PULL 13/27] backends/iommufd: report error when /dev/iommu is not available

Posted by Philippe Mathieu-Daudé 1 week, 3 days ago

From: Pierrick Bouvier <pierrick.bouvier@linaro.org>

In case current kernel does not support /dev/iommu, qemu will probably
fail first because /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/vfio-dev/ is not present,
since QEMU opens it before /dev/iommu.

Instead, report an error directly when completing an iommufd object, to
inform user that kernel does not support it, with a hint about missing
CONFIG_IOMMUFD. We can't do this from initialize as there is no way to
return an error, and we don't want to abort at this step.
