Subject[KVM PATCH v3 0/2] irqfd
Date
(Applies to kvm.git 41b76d8d0487c26d6d4d3fe53c1ff59b3236f096)

This series implements a mechanism called "irqfd". It lets you create
an eventfd based file-desriptor to inject interrupts to a kvm guest. We
associate one gsi per fd for fine-grained routing.

[ Changelog:

v3:
*) The kernel now allocates the eventfd (need to export sys_eventfd2)
*) Added a flags field for future expansion to kvm_irqfd()
*) We properly toggle the irq level 1+0.
*) We re-use the USERSPACE_SRC_ID instead of creating our own
*) Properly check for failures establishing a poll-table with eventfd
*) Fixed fd/file leaks on failure
*) Rebased to lateste kvm.git::41b76d8d04

v2:
*) Dropped notifier_chain based callbacks in favor of
wait_queue_t::func and file::poll based callbacks (Thanks to
Davide for the suggestion)

v1:
*) Initial release

--------

We do not have a user of this interface in this series, though note
future version of virtual-bus (v4 and above) will be based on this.

The first patch will require mainline buy-in, particularly from Davide
(cc'd). The last patch is kvm specific.

qemu-kvm.git patch to follow.
