[PATCH v1 08/13] mshv: accept partial CPU feature banks
From: Wei Hu
Date: Fri Aug 07 2026 - 10:04:05 EST
From: Wei Liu <wei.liu@xxxxxxxxxx>
Allow userspace to provide fewer than MSHV_NUM_CPU_FEATURES_BANKS banks
for the create-partition v2 ioctl. Preserve the default disabled-feature
mask for omitted banks instead of rejecting the ioctl or overwriting all
banks.
