Right, so irq resource allocation can't be directly abused (by calling this ioctl out of order, for example) because the device must be assigned first via kvm_vm_ioctl_assign_device(). My only concern isn't with this patch per-se, but the exising kvm_vm_ioctl_assign_device(). thanks, -chris -- 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
