Subject: [RFC PATCH 05/18] virt/mshv: create partition ioctl
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2020 16:30:24 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1605918637-12192-6-git-send-email-nunodasneves@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1605918637-12192-1-git-send-email-nunodasneves@linux.microsoft.com>

Add MSHV_CREATE_PARTITION, which creates an fd to track a new partition.
Partition is not yet created in the hypervisor itself.
Introduce header files for userspace-facing hyperv structures.

+:Parameters: struct mshv_create_partition
+:Returns: partition file descriptor, or -1 on failure
