AFAICS this has nothing to do with NX, so why is it called nx-ftw ?

Also aren't we going to want to use this on pseries eventually? If so
should it go in arch/powerpc/sysdev ?

The class doesn't go in debugfs, which is what "dbgfs" says to me.

mfspr(SPRN_LPID)

would seem to do the trick?

This isn't a crypto device?

And this would read better if the variable was "id". eg.

	instance->id = atomic_inc_return(&next_instance_id);

That struct is a mess and needs to be reworked.

Ditto.

This is dead code, which makes it very easy for it to get out of sync
with the vas_rx_win_attr for example.

Better to just make these pr_debug() in the only caller, that way they
get type checked.

Ah much better :)

Aka. reverse-christmas-tree.

Nicer would be:

	void __user *uptr = (void *)arg;

	rc = copy_from_user(&uattr, uptr, sizeof(uattr));

vas_init_rx_win_attr() ?

Seems like that will be a common pattern so maybe the vas core should
handle it for callers who want it.

You defined the ioctl as:

  #define VAS_RX_WIN_OPEN		_IOW('v', 2, struct vas_rx_win_open_attr)

But you're reading and writing from the user arg, so it should be _IOWR.

Those two struct names are quite confusing.

All you use is rx_win_handle, so why does this ioctl take the whole struct?

Why is that in txattr?

The pid can be freed and given to another process so it's fishy to be
saving the pid without also holding a reference on the task.

Has been done for us.

is_tx would be clearer IMHO.

Flipping the order of those would be preferable though it's not actually
a bug.

Is there some particular reason you need to implement those, you appear
to be just mapping a page into the address space. Can't you just use
remap_pfn_range() in your mmap routine?

This can't be a module, so you shouldn't be using these.
