Vendor driver using mediated device framework would use same mechnism to
validate and prepare IRQs. Introducing this function to reduce code
replication in multiple drivers.

Pointless check, the callers will pass non null pointer with value
initialized to 0 anyway.

The whole branch would even work for size == 0.

Redundant check as well.

It does not really prepare anything as the name suggests. It looks like
this is 2 different helpers actually:

int vfio_set_irqs_validate()
and
size_t vfio_set_irqs_hdr_to_data_size()


And it would make it easier to review/bisect if 16/22 and 17/22 were merged
into this one as this patch alone adds new code which it does not use and
all 3 patches are fairly small.

Everything you export in this patchset is EXPORT_SYMBOL() while the
existing code uses EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), is this for a reason?

Not always, When VFIO_IRQ_SET_DATA_NONE flag is set, caller can pass
data_size = NULL.

In that case below check (!data_size) might result in error if data_size
== NULL, whereas its not error case when size == 0, i.e.
VFIO_IRQ_SET_DATA_NONE flag set.

This is not redundant. If you see above check, it sets its init value to
0 but doesn't fail.

Later one is the prepare.

I do had all 3 patch merged in one in earlier version of patchset. This
is split as per Alex's suggestion.

We want these symbols to be available to all drivers.

Today data_size is not NULL in all cases and the way it is used now (ioctl
VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS) gives me an idea that this is not going to change.

Does not like it prepares anything, just a simple converter.

I got this from another mail from Alex. Which I find strange but whatever,
this is his realm anyway :)

Right, got it from another mail from Alex as well. Ok, seems all right so
far. A note in the commit log would be useful though.

Maybe you haven't noticed, but your patch series are often difficult to
deal with, they almost always split across functional areas and
maintainers.  Splitting out code to common functions and _then_
updating the callers to make use of it is a common way to deal with
that.  We're in the same functional area here, but it's still
good practice.  Thanks,

Alex
