Sean Christopherson 2cdd64cbf9 KVM: Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority waiter
Disallow binding an irqfd to an eventfd that already has a priority waiter,
i.e. to an eventfd that already has an attached irqfd.  KVM always
operates in exclusive mode for EPOLL_IN (unconditionally returns '1'),
i.e. only the first waiter will be notified.

KVM already disallows binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd in a single
VM, but doesn't guard against multiple VMs binding to an eventfd.  Adding
the extra protection reduces the pain of a userspace VMM bug, e.g. if
userspace fails to de-assign before re-assigning when transferring state
for intra-host migration, then the migration will explicitly fail as
opposed to dropping IRQs on the destination VM.

Temporarily keep KVM's manual check on irqfds.items, but add a WARN, e.g.
to allow sanity checking the waitqueue enforcement.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
