Subject: [PATCH v8] qemu-kvm: add irqfd support
Date: Tue, 02 Jun 2009 11:45:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090602154233.30489.81627.stgit@dev.haskins.net> (raw)
irqfd 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.
[note: this is meant to work in conjunction with the POLLHUP version of
irqfd, which has not yet been accepted into kvm.git]
[ Changelog:
v8:
*) removed deassign() verb in favor of POLLHUP support on close()
*) only include sys/eventfd.h if CAP_IRQFD is defined to properly
support older kernels
*) s/ENOENT/ENOSYS
]
