Subject: [RFC PATCH 5/7] vfio_pci_core: allow regions with no release op
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2025 16:09:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250924141018.80202-6-mngyadam@amazon.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250924141018.80202-1-mngyadam@amazon.de>
Allow regions to not to have a release op. This could be helpful with
alias regions. These regions wouldn't need to implement release ops.
Signed-off-by: Mahmoud Adam <mngyadam@amazon.de>

With the initial implementnation purposed in this RFC, there is
nothing to release for the alias regions. I wasn't sure if we should
force regions to implement release ops, If this is the case then an
empty function might be the better solution here.
