After I git clone the source code from the link https://github.com/
dmatlack/linux/tree/liveupdate/vfio/cdev/v1,
I found the above errors when I built the source code.
Perhaps the above errors can be solved by EXPORT_SYMBOL.
But I am not sure if a better solution can solve the above problems or not.
I reviewed this patch series in detail. If I’m understanding it
correctly, there appears to be a cyclic dependency issue. Specifically,
some functions in kernel module A depend on kernel module B, while at
the same time certain functions in module B depend on module A.
I’m not entirely sure whether this constitutes a real problem or if it’s
intentional design.
Thanks for your report. Can you share the .config file you used to
generate these errors?
IIRC, I used FC 42 default config. Perhaps you can make tests with it. If
this problem can not be reproduced, I will share my config with you.
What does "FC 42 default config" mean?
Either way I was able to reproduce the errors you posted above by
changing CONFIG_VFIO_PCI{_CORE} from "y" to "m".
To unblock building and testing this series you can change these configs
from "m" to "y", or the following patch (which fixed things for me):

Hi, David
Thanks. The above changes resolve the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL issue as well as
the cyclic dependency problem.
I recommend submitting this as a new commit, as it effectively addresses
the issues present in the patch series.
