[PATCH] vfio: return -ENOTTY for unsupported device feature
Posted by Alex Mastro 1 day, 5 hours ago
The two implementers of vfio_device_ops.device_feature,
vfio_cdx_ioctl_feature and vfio_pci_core_ioctl_feature, return
-ENOTTY in the fallthrough case when the feature is unsupported. For
consistency, the base case, vfio_ioctl_device_feature, should do the
same when device_feature == NULL, indicating an implementation has no
feature extensions.

The commit message makes the main points, but I'm assuming that it was
intended for ENOTTY and not EINVAL to be the errno to indicate "this
feature is not supported".
