Userspace can register any arbitrary address with a corresponding eventfd. Normal IO requires a synchronous/blocking round-trip since the operation may cause side-effects in the emulated model or may return data to the caller. However, there is a subclass of IO which acts purely as a trigger for other IO (such as to kick off an out-of-band DMA request, etc). For these patterns, the synchronous call is particularly expensive because they are done within the same context as the VCPU thread and therefore cause a VMX/SVM "heavy-weight" exit, a transition back to userspace, and overhead with the qemu locking and decoding operations. Therefore providing the registration of an in-kernel trigger point allows the VCPU to take a very brief lightweight exit only long enough to signal the eventfd. This also means that any clients compatible with the eventfd interface (which includes userspace and kernelspace equally well) can now register for asynchronous notification when one of these signals are generated in the guest. The end result should be a more flexible and higher performance notification API for the backend KVM hypervisor and perhipheral components.
