Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 09/13] KVM: guest_memfd: Expose device provider private state
Date: Sun,  1 Nov 2026 12:49:23 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261101071928.2462549-10-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261101071928.2462549-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>

Expose a callback to query whether private ranges remain. Initialize it
before attaching the device provider so the vDEVICE can coordinate
protected cleanup. Keep the summary inode-owned and valid until release;
providers may access the VM only during attach and core callbacks.
