[PATCH 4/4] KVM: VFIO: update coherency only if file was deleted
From: Carlos López
Date: Fri Mar 13 2026 - 08:24:59 EST
When servicing a KVM_DEV_VFIO_FILE_DEL request, if a file is removed
from kv->file_list, kv->noncoherent needs to be updated, in case we
can revert to using coherent DMA. However, if we found no candidate
to remove, there is no need to re-scan the list, so do it only if a
matching file was found.
To simplify the control flow, use a mutex guard so that we can return
early from within the search loop if the maching file is found.
