In the current design ideas, we partitioned the vGPU display eventfd counted 8-byte value into at most 8 events to deliver multiple display events, so we need different increasement counter value to differentiate the events. As this is the exposed thing the QEMU has to know, we plan adds a macro here VFIO_IRQ_SUBTYPE_GFX_DISPLAY_EVENTFD_BASE_SHIFT to make sure the partitions shift in 1 byte, does it make sense putting here? Looking forward to your and Gerd's comments. Thanks! Best Regards, Kechen > > /** > > * VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS - _IOW(VFIO_TYPE, VFIO_BASE + 10, struct > vfio_irq_set) > > *
