Now we have a global percpu counter to limit the recursion depth

But in stack overflow case, it should be OK to increase the
recursion depth if needed. So we add a percpu counter in eventfd_ctx
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?

Actually I mean the deadlock described in commit f0b493e ("io_uring:
prevent potential eventfd recursion on poll"). It can break this bug
fix if we just increase EVENTFD_WAKEUP_DEPTH.


Ok, so can wait do something similar in that commit? (using async stuffs like wq).

Thanks



Thanks,
Yongji
