This makes the vfio file kAPIs to accept vfio device files, also a preparation for vfio device cdev support. For the kvm set with vfio device file, kvm pointer is stored in struct vfio_device_file, and use kvm_ref_lock to protect kvm set and kvm pointer usage within VFIO. This kvm pointer will be set to vfio_device after device file is bound to iommufd in the cdev path.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
