User APIs such as iommu_sva_unbind_gpasid() may also be used by the kernel. Since we introduced user pointer to the UAPI functions, in-kernel callers cannot share the same APIs. In-kernel callers are also trusted, there is no need to validate the data. We plan to have two flavors of the same API functions, one called through ioctls, carrying a user pointer and one called directly with valid IOMMU UAPI structs. To differentiate both, let's rename existing functions with an iommu_uapi_ prefix.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
