I'm not sure I understand the question. I do think we can have multiple CPUs that are executing some portion of virtio_ccw_int_handler(). So I guess the answer is yes. Connie what do you think? On the other hand we could also end up serializing synchronize_cbs() calls for different devices if they happen to use the same airq_info. But this probably was not your question > this patch serializes them on a spinlock. > Those could then pile up on the newly introduced spinlock.
