Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] Drivers: hv: vmbus: add vmbus_establish_gpadl_caller_decrypted()
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 12:56:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721195633.1438361-2-kameroncarr@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260721195633.1438361-1-kameroncarr@linux.microsoft.com>
Refactor vmbus_establish_gpadl() to separate the encryption lifecycle
from the rest of the GPADL establishment logic.
Add a new vmbus_establish_gpadl_caller_decrypted() for callers that want
to decrypt their own buffers.
No functional change for existing callers.
