Subject: [PATCH v3 06/24] vfio/pci: Register a file handler with Live Update Orchestrator
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 23:57:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323235817.1960573-7-dmatlack@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260323235817.1960573-1-dmatlack@google.com>
From: Vipin Sharma <vipinsh@google.com>
Register a live update file handler for vfio-pci device files. Add stub
implementations of all required callbacks so that registration does not
fail (i.e. to avoid breaking git-bisect).
This file handler will be extended in subsequent commits to enable a
device bound to vfio-pci to run without interruption while the host is
going through a kexec Live Update.
Put this support behind a new Kconfig VFIO_PCI_LIVEUPDATE that is marked
experimental and default-disabled until more of the device preservation
support has landed in the kernel.
