From 149487bdacde32f5a9a344a49533ae0772fb9db7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Christopherson Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2019 15:58:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Add separate helper for putting borrowed reference to kvm Add a new helper, kvm_put_kvm_no_destroy(), to handle putting a borrowed reference[*] to the VM when installing a new file descriptor fails. KVM expects the refcount to remain valid in this case, as the in-progress ioctl() has an explicit reference to the VM. The primary motiviation for the helper is to document that the 'kvm' pointer is still valid after putting the borrowed reference, e.g. to document that doing mutex(&kvm->lock) immediately after putting a ref to kvm isn't broken. [*] When exposing a new object to userspace via a file descriptor, e.g. a new vcpu, KVM grabs a reference to itself (the VM) prior to making the object visible to userspace to avoid prematurely freeing the VM in the scenario where userspace immediately closes file descriptor.
