Subject: [PATCH 1/3] KVM: arm64: Prevent teardown finalisation of referenced 'hyp_vm'
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 16:50:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260331155056.28220-2-will@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260331155056.28220-1-will@kernel.org>
Destroying a 'hyp_vm' with an elevated referenced count in
__pkvm_finalize_teardown_vm() is only going to lead to tears.
In preparation for allowing limited references to be acquired on dying
VMs during the teardown process, factor out the handle-to-vm logic for
the teardown path and reuse it for both the 'start' and 'finalise'
stages of the teardown process.
