Hello, This patch series refactors the liveupdate selftests util. It exposes liveupdate util code as a library which can be used by other selftests like VFIO and IOMMU.
In this series there are no users of this change but it is being used in VFIO liveupdate series and iommu. https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/[email protected]/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/[email protected]/ I think it is better to move the patches out and propose as a separate series for inclusion liveupdate repo. That way we can decouple multiple downstream dependencies and then it can be used by VFIO, IOMMU, and KVM (guest_memfd preservation) separately.
