Subject: [RFC PATCH v5 11/16] KVM: guest_memfd: Pass KVM explicitly to provider attach
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 13:11:15 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112074120.1570072-12-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112074120.1570072-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>
Pass the attaching VM to the resource-provider attach callbacks. The
argument is valid during attachment and must not be retained. This
avoids storing the VM in the device binding context introduced next.
