[PATCH v12 02/12] KVM: guest_memfd: Add macro to iterate over gmem_files for a mapping/inode

Tue Oct 7 15:14:10 PDT 2025


Add a kvm_gmem_for_each_file() to make it more obvious that KVM is
iterating over guest_memfd _files_, not guest_memfd instances, as could
be assumed given the name "gmem_list".

No functional change intended.
