Subject: [PATCH v1 03/27] KVM, vfio: remove symbol_get(kvm_put_kvm) from vfio
Date: Thu,  2 Apr 2026 06:20:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402042125.3948963-4-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.

The remaining use in VFIO is for kvm_put_kvm, which is not inline
because it needs to call kvm_destroy_vm.  However, storing the
address of kvm_destroy_vm in the "struct kvm" is enough to remove
the dependency from VFIO.

This also makes it possible to direct kvm_put_kvm to different
implementations of kvm_destroy_vm.
