Hi Alex,

The usage of gsi flexible array member in kvm_vfio_dev_irq makes
impractical (to me) to use user_fwd_irq beyond
kvm_vfio_control_irq_forward. I would prefer keeping using either the
private kvm_fwd_irq or individual fields - as Feng does too -.

With respect to moving the ref counting in register/unregister_fwd_irq
my main issue is the kvm_vfio_get_vfio_device currently takes an fd and
not a vfio_device. Either I also store the fd in kvm_fwd_irq or I add
another external API that makes possible to increment the reference from
the vfio_device.

There is currently struct vfio_device *vfio_device_get_from_dev(struct
device *dev).

I could add somethink like
static void vfio_device_get_from_dev_external(struct vfio_device *vdev)
{
        vfio_device_get(vdev);
}

Does it make sense to you?

Best Regards

Eric
