Subject: [PATCH v7 05/16] KVM: Restrict kvm_get_kvm/kvm_put_kvm export to internal KVM modules
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 11:29:44 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008055955.4014342-6-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261008055955.4014342-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>
From: Steffen Eiden <seiden@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.
