Subject: [PATCH v4 5/6] KVM: Restrict kvm_get_kvm/kvm_put_kvm export to internal KVM modules
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 15:07:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928-vfio-v4-5-e32e226d5932@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928-vfio-v4-0-e32e226d5932@linux.ibm.com>

Switch kvm_get_kvm, kvm_get_kvm_safe, and kvm_put_kvm from
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM_INTERNAL. These symbols are
now only used within KVM itself. No external module needs them now that
VFIO uses file-based reference counting. Remove the corresponding
exemptions from the x86 KVM Makefile exports check.

Suggested-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
