I have just found one more flaw in your implementation. If you take a look at irqfd_wakeup()...
--- cut ---
/* An event has been signaled, inject an interrupt */
if (irq.type == KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_MSI)
kvm_set_msi(&irq, kvm, KVM_USERSPACE_IRQ_SOURCE_ID, 1,
false);
else
schedule_work(&irqfd->inject);
--- cut ---
You apparently missed KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_EXTENDED_MSI here, as well as in irqfd_update(). But, if you
accept my API proposal, this becomes irrelevant.
