Hi Aneesh,

Given we don't generally want a massive cc list in the git log,
move them below ---

If you are tracking them in your git tree, just add a --- after your sign off
and put them under that.

Also good to +CC everyone in the CC for patches on the cover letter.
I happened not be subscribed to any of the lists that went to so have to
pull it down by hand from lore.

Fairly minor stuff inline.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Usually put linux includes before the local ones (though I haven't
checked local conventions in iommufd).

Hmm. Really a question for Jason / Kevin, but so far this file is ifdef free.
Should we keep it that way by spinning this stuff off to a separate .c file,
or maybe use if (IS_ENABLED()) the implementation which I think means
we need a stub for file_is_kvm()?

return -EBADF;

and drop the local variable.

Just based on context in this patch, this smells alphabetical.
I checked it is, so this belongs between errno.h and iommu.h
