[RFC PATCH 13/20] kho: add radix tree freeze and del_key() error reporting

Wed May 27 17:41:55 PDT 2026


Add kho_radix_tree_freeze() to prevent further modifications to a
KHO radix tree. After freezing, kho_radix_add_key() and
kho_radix_del_key() return -EBUSY. This is used by the MSHV page
preservation code to lock the tree before serializing it for kexec.

Also change kho_radix_del_key() from void to int so it can report
-EBUSY (frozen) and -ENOENT (key not present).
