Then I still need assign prod and de-assign prod in irq_bypass_register_consumer/irq_bypass_unregister_consumer,
Right? Would you please share why this is better. My original though is as below:


Thanks,

The need to store the consumer->producer link seems to be unique to
posted interrupts.  It is difficult to say without seeing the PI code,
but I prefer to keep the bypass manager as small as possible.

Fine. I will follow your suggestion!

If using the following changes, how can we assign 'prod', we need to use
container_of to get struct kvm_kernel_irqfd and then refer to 'prod', but
we cannot do this in irq_bypass_register_consumer(), right? It is a
common API. But we can only get the associated producer info inside
bypass manager, right?

Thanks,
Feng

struct kvm_kernel_irqfd {

 	......

 	struct irq_bypass_consumer cons;
 	struct irq_bypass_producer *prod;
};

KVM's add_producer and del_producer callbacks do have a pointer to the
producer.
