Yes, we should reject in the IOMMU core since it will be true
for all vendors. Currently it is rejected in the VT-d driver when it
does generic to vendor conversion. I am assuming the similar for others.

Good catch! I missed the bind data also.

Yes, I think we can check if argsz is sufficient for each granu. i.e.
replace the above check with:

	if ((inv_info.granularity == IOMMU_INV_GRANU_PASID) &&
		inv_info.argsz < offsetofend(struct iommu_cache_invalidate_info, granu.pasid_info))
		return -EINVAL;

	if ((inv_info.granularity == IOMMU_INV_GRANU_ADDR) &&
		inv_info.argsz < offsetofend(struct iommu_cache_invalidate_info, granu.addr_info))
		return -EINVAL;

Yes, make sense. I think my reply in the previous comment addresses
this idea. Right?

Yes, that is my understanding as well. I will add this statement in the
doc where vendor driver's responsibility is laid out. How about the
following?

"- Vendor IOMMU driver checks argsz based on vendor flags, UAPI data
  is consumed based on flags. Vendor driver has access to
  unadulterated argsz value in case of vendor specific future
  extensions. Currently, it does not perform the copy_from_user()
  itself. A __user pointer can be provided in some future scenarios
  where there's vendor data outside of the structure definition."

If understand correctly, you are suggesting we name all UAPI functions
with iommu_uapi_ prefix regardless there are any in-kernel counterpart.
Right? I agree. This will name naming consistent.

i.e. 
iommu_uapi_cache_invalidate()
iommu_uapi_page_response()
