Subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] KVM: Restrict kvm_get_kvm/kvm_put_kvm export to internal KVM modules
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 10:58:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924-vfio-v3-5-4a294307797b@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260924-vfio-v3-0-4a294307797b@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.
