Hi all,

After merging the kvm-x86 tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/guest_memfd.c: In function 'kvm_gmem_get_file':
arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/guest_memfd.c:280:35: error: passing argument 1 of 'get_file_rcu' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
  280 |         if (file && !get_file_rcu(file))

      |                                   |
      |                                   struct file *

Caused by commit

  fcbef1e5e5d2 ("KVM: Add KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl() for guest-specific backing memory")

interacting with commit

from the vfs-brauner tree.

I have applied the following merg resolution patch:
