This conversion has been requested for a long time. For clarity, should we call the module i915_kvmgt? How far would we be from dynamically modprobing/rmmoding the kvmgt module in order to eliminate the enable_gvt parameter? <SNIP> > + > +/* > + * Exported here so that the exports only get created when GVT support is > + * actually enabled. > + */ > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_gem_object_alloc, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_gem_object_create_shmem, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_gem_object_init, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_gem_object_ggtt_pin_ww, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_gem_object_pin_map, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_gem_object_set_to_cpu_domain, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(__i915_gem_object_flush_map, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(__i915_gem_object_set_pages, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_gem_gtt_insert, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_gem_prime_export, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_gem_ww_ctx_init, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_gem_ww_ctx_backoff, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_gem_ww_ctx_fini, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_ppgtt_create, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_request_add, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_request_create, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_request_wait, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_reserve_fence, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_unreserve_fence, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_vm_release, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(i915_vma_move_to_active, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(intel_context_create, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(intel_context_unpin, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(__intel_context_do_pin, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(intel_ring_begin, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(intel_runtime_pm_get, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(intel_runtime_pm_put_unchecked, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(intel_uncore_forcewake_for_reg, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(intel_uncore_forcewake_get, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(intel_uncore_forcewake_put, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(shmem_pin_map, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(shmem_unpin_map, I915_GVT); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(__px_dma, I915_GVT); This list is also a concern. At the least the double underscore functions should be eliminated from being exported. Zhi and Zhenyu, can we have some further patches to clean that up? Regards, Joonas
