(Applies to kvm.git/master:4631e094) The following is the latest attempt to fix the races in irqfd/eventfd, as well as restore DEASSIGN support. For more details, please read the patch headers. This series has been tested against the kvm-eventfd unit test, and appears to be functioning properly. You can download this test here: ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/kvm-eventfd.tar.bz2 I've included version 4 of Davide's eventfd patch (ported to kvm.git) so that its a complete reviewable series. Note, however, that there may be later versions of his patch to consider for merging, so we should coordinate with him. -Greg --- Davide Libenzi (1): eventfd - revised interface and cleanups (4th rev) Gregory Haskins (3): KVM: add irqfd DEASSIGN feature KVM: Fix races in irqfd using new eventfd_kref_get interface kvm: prepare irqfd for having interrupts disabled during eventfd->release drivers/lguest/lg.h | 2 drivers/lguest/lguest_user.c | 4 - fs/aio.c | 24 +--- fs/eventfd.c | 126 ++++++++++++++++--- include/linux/aio.h | 4 - include/linux/eventfd.h | 35 ++++- include/linux/kvm.h | 2 include/linux/kvm_host.h | 7 + virt/kvm/Kconfig | 1 virt/kvm/eventfd.c | 284 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 10 files changed, 379 insertions(+), 110 deletions(-) -- Signature -- 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
