Given all your work, What about From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>
plus "Based on an inital patch from Christian Borntraeger"

No big deal, I don't care about authorship that much.

No idea what resampler is, can this become time critical as well - iow do we need expedited here?

It's for level-triggered interrupts. I decided that if synchronize_rcu was good enough before, synchronize_srcu will do after the patch.

Hmm, looks like all callers are slow path (shutdown, deregister assigned dev). Couldnt
we use the non expedited variant?

... but I have screwed up this one. Thanks, I'll change it.

the patch would be smaller without this change, but it makes the naming more consistent, so ok.

Yeah, out_err_noirq_srcu or out_err_noirqsrcu are both very ugly.

Thanks for the review, I'm making the small change to remove expedited and applying to kvm/queue.
