[PATCH RFC 08/10] KVM: Add guarded_by to members in struct kvm
From: Marco Elver
Date: Thu Sep 10 2026 - 12:34:46 EST
Add __guarded_by annotations to a subset of members in struct kvm where
the protecting locks reside in the same struct scope. Members protected
by locks across nested or parent struct boundaries are omitted due to C
lexical scoping limitations.
No functional change intended.
