Subject: [PATCH v1 02/27] KVM, vfio: remove symbol_get(kvm_get_kvm_safe) from vfio
Date: Thu,  2 Apr 2026 06:20:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402042125.3948963-3-seiden@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260402042125.3948963-1-seiden@linux.ibm.com>

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

Right now, KVM and VFIO are using symbol_get to access each other's
symbols because of a circular reference between the modules, as well
as to avoid loading them unnecessarily.

However, usage of symbol_get is mostly deprecated and there are just a
handful of users left. In the case of VFIO, in particular, the
functions it calls can be made inline. Start with kvm_get_kvm_safe, for
which it is trivial to do so.
