Hi Jason,

we use this lock to protect the eventfd_ctx and irq from race conditions,


We don't support irq notification from vDPA device driver in this version, do we still have race condition?
as we discussed before:
(1)if vendor change IRQ after DRIVER_OK, through they should not do this, but they can.
(2)if user space changes ctx.

Thanks


Yes, but then everything happens in context of syscall (ioctl), so vq mutex is sufficient I guess?

Thanks
