Is using closids_supported() the right thing here? That's
the minimum value across all resources. So suppose you had
16 CLOS for the L3 resource, but only 8 CLOS in one of L2/MB/SMBA.

I'd assume the your h/w doesn't care that Linux chose to
ignore half of the available L3 CLOSIDs, and is still going
to use CLOSID==15 for SDCIA.

I think you'll take the -ENOSPC error return. But do you
really need to do that? Maybe you can still have SDCIA
enabled and using CLOSID 15?
