Subject: [KVM PATCH v3 0/3] irqfd/eventfd fixes
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:05:41 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090622155504.22967.50532.stgit@dev.haskins.net> (raw)
(Applies to kvm.git/master:4631e094)
The following is the latest attempt to fix the remaining races in
irqfd/eventfd. For more details, please read the patch headers.
This series has been tested against the kvm-eventfd unit test, and
appears to be functioning properly. You can download this test here:
ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/kvm-eventfd.tar.bz2
(Note: I believe either the eventfd solution in 2/3, or the patch that
Davide has proposed should work equally well. Its purely a question of
which direction we want to go in w.r.t. the wakeup registration).
