I'm testing a patch that moves all bitmap handling to under pic/ioapic lock. After this we can teach kvm_set_irq to report when a bit that is cleared/set is already clear/set, without races. And then no tracking will be necessary in irqfd - we can just call kvm_set_irq(..., 0) and look at the return status. -- MST -- 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
