[PATCH RFC 5/9] mshv: Add partition file identity helper

From: Jacob Pan

Date: Fri Sep 25 2026 - 15:10:58 EST


Provide a helper to derive the immutable MSHV partition ID from a
partition file. IOMMU drivers can use this to bind a vIOMMU to the
partition object represented by a userspace fd instead of relying on
current-task lookup.

Keep the public helper in built-in Hyper-V common code and let the MSHV
root driver register the partition-file callbacks. This lets built-in
IOMMU callers avoid symbol_get() when MSHV_ROOT is built as a module.
