[PATCH v16 4/5] vhost: add mem region add/remove handlers

Sat Jun 6 04:52:10 CEST 2026


From: Pravin M Bathija <pravin.bathija at dell.com>

Add support for VHOST_USER_ADD_MEM_REG, VHOST_USER_REM_MEM_REG and
VHOST_USER_GET_MAX_MEM_SLOTS. Refactor memory initialization into
common helper and add supporting functions for dynamic memory management.
