• if (hwpt_type != IOMMU_HWPT_TYPE_DEFAULT &&

•    hwpt_type != IOMMU_HWPT_TYPE_VTD_S1)
  

• return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
  

• if ((hwpt_type == IOMMU_HWPT_TYPE_DEFAULT) == !!parent)

• return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
  

this is probably too strict. What about intel-iommu driver supports a IOMMU_HWPT_TYPE_VTD_S2 later for some tweak w/o nesting?

let's make the parent match specific to VTD_S1 type.

• if (parent && request_nest_parent)

• return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
  

this check should be moved to iommufd?
