Subject: [PATCH v2] qemu-kvm: add irqfd support
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2009 00:30:17 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090424042756.1896.90317.stgit@dev.haskins.net> (raw)
(applies to kvm-userspace.git 84474e4f39)
This adds userspace support for the irqfd mechanism in the kernel, published
here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/24/6
This is v2. Changes since v1:
*) bug-fix to prevent returning "0" for success on allocation
---------------------
There are no current users, though the future virtual-bus v4 has plans to
adopt it.
