[PATCH v1 08/13] mshv: accept partial CPU feature banks

Wei Hu <[email protected]> Fri, 7 Aug 2026 13:51:14 +0000
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-hyperv,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Wei Liu <[email protected]>

Allow userspace to provide fewer than MSHV_NUM_CPU_FEATURES_BANKS banks
for the create-partition v2 ioctl. Preserve the default disabled-feature
mask for omitted banks instead of rejecting the ioctl or overwriting all
banks.
