[PATCH] linux-headers: change the annotation of VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_REGISTER_MEMORY in vfio.h
Posted by JianChunfu 3 weeks ago
The ioctl(VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA/VFIO_IOMMU_UNMAP_DMA) won't be called
in SPAPR machine, which is replaced by VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_CREATE/
VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_REMOVE, so change the description.

Instead of editing things under linux-headers directly, the kernel
source file needs to be changed instead so that a headers sync will
update the file here. [No opinion on the actual change.]
