get_config() and set_config() callbacks in the 'struct vdpa_config_ops'
usually already validated the inputs. Also now they can return an error,
so we don't need to validate them here anymore.

Let's use the return value of these callbacks and return it in case of
error in vhost_vdpa_get_config() and vhost_vdpa_set_config().

Then it means usersapce can allocate a very large memory.
Good point.

Rethink about this, we should limit the size here (e.g PAGE_SIZE) or
fetch the config size first (either through a config ops as you
suggested or a variable in the vdpa device that is initialized during
device creation).
Maybe PAGE_SIZE is okay as a limit.

If instead we want to fetch the config size, then better a config ops in my
opinion, to avoid adding a new parameter to __vdpa_alloc_device().

I vote for PAGE_SIZE, but it isn't a strong opinion.

What do you and @Michael suggest?

Thanks,
Stefano
Devices know what the config size is. Just have them provide it.
Okay, I'll add get_config_size() callback in vdpa_config_ops and I'll 
leave vhost_vdpa_config_validate() that will use that callback instead 
of 'virtio_id' to get the config size from the device.

At this point I think I can remove the "vdpa: add return value to 
get_config/set_config callbacks" patch and leave void return to 
get_config/set_config callbacks.

Does this make sense?

Thanks,
Stefano
