Subject: [RFC PATCH 00/10] vdpa: get/set_config() rework

Following the discussion with Michael and Jason [1], I reworked a bit
get/set_config() in vdpa.

I changed vdpa_get_config() to check the boundaries and added vdpa_set_config().
When 'offset' or 'len' parameters exceed boundaries, we limit the reading to
the available configuration space in the device, and we return the amount of
bytes read/written.

In this way the user space can pass buffers bigger than config space.
I also returned the amount of bytes read and written to user space.

Patches also available here:

Thanks for your comments,
Stefano
