Subject: [RFC PATCH v6 04/11] iommufd/viommu: Keep a reference to the KVM file
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 19:31:52 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917140159.1163281-5-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917140159.1163281-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>
From: Nicolin Chen <nicolinc@nvidia.com>
The TSM vDevice operations need access to the KVM associated with the
device's vIOMMU. Save the device's KVM file in the iommufd_viommu when the
vIOMMU is allocated, and take a file reference so it remains valid for the
lifetime of the vIOMMU.
Release the reference when the vIOMMU is destroyed.
Based on an original patch by Shameer Kolothum <shameerali.kolothum.thodi@huawei.com>
