[87/98] KVM: only allow one gsi per fd

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Jan 26 2010 - 18:46:24 EST


2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit f1d1c309f35e9b0fb961cffd70fbd04f450ec47c upstream.

Looks like repeatedly binding same fd to multiple gsi's with irqfd can
use up a ton of kernel memory for irqfd structures.

A simple fix is to allow each fd to only trigger one gsi: triggering a
storm of interrupts in guest is likely useless anyway, and we can do it
by binding a single gsi to many interrupts if we really want to.
