So you could have another ioctl adding to it at the same time you're searching. Could either have a separate kvm->assigned_devs_lock, to protect kvm->arch.assigned_dev_head (users are ioctls that manipulate it), or change the IRQ injection to use a separate spinlock, kill the workqueue and call kvm_set_irq from the assigned device interrupt handler. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
