Re: [PATCH v11 00/20] VFIO support for platform and ARM AMBA devices

Hi Antonios,

when moving to 3.19rc3 I observe a regression with my xgmac use case
(real-time change?).

I guess what happens is when I kill a first qemu session, guest does not
have time to complete the virtual IRQ and the unmask is not performed by
the virqfd handler. When starting a new QEMU session, the irqfd
signalling is put in place again but since the masked field is set, the
IRQ is left unmasked (v11 modification in vfio_set_trigger).

The problem is that we don't discriminate between user mask action and
automasked handler action. In case the user did not mask, I think we
should reset the masked field when doing the free_irq. What do you think?

Best Regards

Eric
