Does this have to be done before the fd is exposed to userspace, or can it be
done after?  If it can be done after, I'd prefer to have the allocation helper
also install the fd, and also rename it to something that better conveys that
it's allocating more than just the file, e.g. that it allocates and initialize
kvm_gmem too.

Completely untested, but this is what I'm thinkin/hoping.

static int kvm_gmem_alloc_view(struct kvm *kvm, struct inode *inode,
			       struct vfsmount *mnt)
{
	struct file *file;
	struct kvm_gmem *gmem;

	gmem = kzalloc(sizeof(*gmem), GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!gmem)
		return -ENOMEM;

	fd = get_unused_fd_flags(0);
	if (fd < 0) {
		r = fd;
		goto err_fd;
	}

	file = alloc_file_pseudo(inode, mnt, "kvm-gmem", O_RDWR, &kvm_gmem_fops);
	if (IS_ERR(file)) {
		r = PTR_ERR(file);
		goto err_file;
	}

	file->f_flags |= O_LARGEFILE;
	file->f_mapping = inode->i_mapping;

	kvm_get_kvm(kvm);
	gmem->kvm = kvm;
	xa_init(&gmem->bindings);

	file->private_data = gmem;

	list_add(&gmem->entry, &inode->i_mapping->private_list);

	fd_install(fd, file);

	return 0;
err:
	put_unused_fd(fd);
err_fd:
	kfree(gmem);
	return r;
}

static int __kvm_gmem_create(struct kvm *kvm, loff_t size, u64 flags,
			     struct vfsmount *mnt)
{
	const char *anon_name = "[kvm-gmem]";
	const struct qstr qname = QSTR_INIT(anon_name, strlen(anon_name));
	struct inode *inode;
	struct file *file;
	int fd, err;

	inode = alloc_anon_inode(mnt->mnt_sb);
	if (IS_ERR(inode))
		return PTR_ERR(inode);

	err = security_inode_init_security_anon(inode, &qname, NULL);
	if (err)
		goto err;

	inode->i_private = (void *)(unsigned long)flags;
	inode->i_op = &kvm_gmem_iops;
	inode->i_mapping->a_ops = &kvm_gmem_aops;
	inode->i_mode |= S_IFREG;
	inode->i_size = size;
	mapping_set_gfp_mask(inode->i_mapping, GFP_HIGHUSER);
	mapping_set_large_folios(inode->i_mapping);
	mapping_set_unevictable(inode->i_mapping);
	mapping_set_unmovable(inode->i_mapping);

	fd = kvm_gmem_alloc_view(kvm, inode, mnt);
	if (fd < 0) {
		err = fd;
		goto err;

	return fd;
err:
	iput(inode);
	return err;
