Is it OK to store `kvm` on the task_struct? What if the thread that
originally created the VM exits? From the documentation it seems
like a VM is associated with an address space and not a specific
thread, so maybe it should be stored on mm_struct?
Yes, ioctls accessing the kvm can happen from all threads.
Good point, thank you for the tips! I'll move kvm pointer to mm_struct.
From Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt:
Only run VM ioctls from the same process (address space) that was used
to create the VM.
