This sounds like the whole thing is fragile and if userspace doesn't do things right, IRQ handling of a piece of hardware is going to be inconsistent? Is this the case?

Actually the KVM-VFIO device rejects any attempt to change the forwarding mode if the physical IRQ is active. So I hope this is robust and will change the explanation.

If user space should simply retry for a number of times, we should probalby return a proper error code for this case -EINTR? -Christoffer -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
