[RFC PATCH v2 08/16] vfio/pci: Gate device information queries and DMA-BUF export
From: Shameer Kolothum
Date: Tue Sep 29 2026 - 13:40:28 EST
GET_INFO accesses PCI configuration to report AtomicOps support, and
GET_REGION_INFO maps the ROM to validate its contents. Protect these
hardware accesses with access_srcu.
Hold SRCU through DMA-BUF creation and list insertion so recovery cannot
finish revoking buffers before a concurrent export becomes visible.
