[PATCH v5 0/4] kvm: level irqfd and new eoifd

From: Alex Williamson
Date: Mon Jul 16 2012 - 16:33:48 EST


v5:
- irqfds now have a one-to-one mapping with eoifds to prevent users
from consuming all of kernel memory by repeatedly creating eoifds
from a single irqfd.
- implement a kvm_clear_irq() which does a test_and_clear_bit of
the irq_state, only updating the pic/ioapic if changes and allowing
the caller to know if anything was done. I added this onto the end
as it's essentially an optimization on the previous design. It's
hard to tell if there's an actual performance benefit to this.
- dropped eoifd gsi support patch as it was only an FYI.

Thanks,

Alex
