    vfio/pci: Create persistent INTx handler · 18c198c9
    Alex Williamson authored
    A vulnerability exists where the eventfd for INTx signaling can be
    deconfigured, which unregisters the IRQ handler but still allows
    eventfds to be signaled with a NULL context through the SET_IRQS ioctl
    or through unmask irqfd if the device interrupt is pending.
    
    Ideally this could be solved with some additional locking; the igate
    mutex serializes the ioctl and config space accesses, and the interrupt
    handler is unregistered relative to the trigger, but the irqfd path
    runs asynchronous to those.  The igate mutex cannot be acquired from the
    atomic context of the eventfd wake function.  Disabling the irqfd
    relative to the eventfd registration is potentially incompatible with
    existing userspace.
    
    As a result, the solution implemented here moves configuration of the
    INTx interrupt handler to track the lifetime of the INTx context object
    and irq_type configuration, rather than registration of a particular
    trigger eventfd.  Synchronization is added between the ioctl path and
    eventfd_signal() wrapper such that the eventfd trigger can be
    dynamically updated relative to in-flight interrupts or irqfd callbacks.
