Subject: [PATCH v2 17/28] KVM: Introduce kvm_check_gen()/kvm_memslots_check_gen()
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 04:15:32 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918081543.139871-18-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918081543.139871-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>

In many cases, retrieving kvm_memslots is followed by a check on
the generation of the slots.  Introduce a helper function that
either does the check alone, or compounds it with returning the
struct kvm_memslots* to the caller.
