"vm_file" is effectively already claimed by vm_area_struct.vm_file. *If* we go this route, I would very strongly prefer to take a dependency on "vfio: Use file-based reference counting for KVM"[*]. I'll poke that thread, we really should land that one particular patch long before the s390-is-arm64 insanity. Empashish on "if" because this all feels backwards. It's not at all clear to me why liveupdate goes directly to guest_memfd, but then requires a token associated with the VM. https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]
