Subject: [PATCH v4 10/27] vfio/cxl: Reject unsupported decoder topologies at bind
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 15:06:14 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813093631.2288172-11-mhonap@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813093631.2288172-1-mhonap@nvidia.com>
From: Manish Honap <mhonap@nvidia.com>
The guest drives a single virtual decoder whose memory maps 1:1, so a
device with more than one HDM decoder, or an interleaved one, cannot be
represented. Turn that assumption into an explicit refusal at bind rather
than a silent misprogramming later.
Signed-off-by: Manish Honap <mhonap@nvidia.com>
