Subject: [PATCH v8 05/29] KVM: Restrict kvm_get_kvm/kvm_put_kvm export to internal KVM modules
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 15:30:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918133107.1042730-6-seiden@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918133107.1042730-1-seiden@linux.ibm.com>
Switch kvm_get_kvm, kvm_get_kvm_safe, and kvm_put_kvm from
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM_INTERNAL. These symbols are
now only used within KVM itself. No external module needs them now that
VFIO uses file-based reference counting. Remove the corresponding
exemptions from the x86 KVM Makefile exports check.
Suggested-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
