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?

We cannot support more than closids_supported(), as the bitmaps are not initialized beyond that point, and other routines are also not designed to handle more than closid_free_map_len.

While it's technically possible to implement a workaround for this special case, it would be a hacky solution. It's likely unnecessary to go down that path.

Thanks
Babu
