Subject: [PATCH v4 02/11] KVM: Introduce kvm_create_vm_file() helper
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 12:11:29 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260728121138.1103610-3-tarunsahu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260728121138.1103610-1-tarunsahu@google.com>

- Move ITOA_MAX_LEN to kvm_mm.h for reuse by upcoming kvm_luo code.
- Introduce kvm_create_vm_file() to wrap kvm_create_vm() and
  anon_inode_getfile(), providing a unified VM file creation API.
