But in stack overflow case, it should be OK to increase the

to limit the recursion depth for deadlock case. Then it could be
fine to increase the global percpu counter later.
I wonder whether or not it's worth to introduce percpu for each eventfd.
How about simply check if eventfd_signal_count() is greater than 2?
It can't avoid deadlock in this way.
I may miss something but the count is to avoid recursive eventfd call.
So for VDUSE what we suffers is e.g the interrupt injection path:
userspace write IRQFD -> vq->cb() -> another IRQFD.
It looks like increasing EVENTFD_WAKEUP_DEPTH should be sufficient?
Thanks
So we need a percpu counter for
each eventfd to limit the recursion depth for deadlock cases. And
using a global percpu counter to avoid stack overflow.
Thanks,
