Subject: [PATCH v1 01/27] VFIO: take reference to the KVM module
Date: Thu,  2 Apr 2026 06:20:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402042125.3948963-2-seiden@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260402042125.3948963-1-seiden@linux.ibm.com>

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

VFIO is implicitly taking a reference to the KVM module between
vfio_device_get_kvm_safe and vfio_device_put_kvm, thanks to
symbol_get and symbol_put.

In preparation for removing symbol_get and symbol_put themselves
from VFIO, actually store a pointer to the KVM module and use
module_get()/module_put() to keep KVM alive.
