Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v3 2/5] ve: Introduce override_ve/revert_ve helpers
Date: Tue, 03 Nov 2026 10:24:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103-ovl-use-orig-ve-v3-2-add042cdd087@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261103-ovl-use-orig-ve-v3-0-add042cdd087@virtuozzo.com>
These helpers mirror override_creds/revert_creds and are supposed to
be used together in cases when VE creds may be stored and later used
by the different VE task.
To keep task_ve consistent for other users, introduce a separate
task->overrided_ve field. Nobody should race on it since its
updates are supposed to go with override_creds, and non-current
processes shouldn't do this.
