yes, will refine the description per your comment.

you mean "The nesting info is available only after container set to be NESTED type."

I guess you mean the comments Jean gave in patch 3/15, right? I'll
copy his comments and also give the below link as well.

get nesting_info failure will result in group_attach failure.[1]

it's now validated in the caller of this function. :-)

I see. in this patch, just few lines below [2], vfio only reports nesting
cap when iommu->nesting_info is non-null. so even if userspace selected
nesting type, it may fail at the VFIO_SET_IOMMU phase since group_attach
will be failed for NESTED type container if host iommu doesnât support
nesting. the code is marked as [1] in this email.

here checks nesting_info before reporting nesting cap. [2]
