Hey everyone,

This simplifies the eventfd_signal() and eventfd_signal_mask() helpers
by removing the count argument which is effectively unused.

Ever since the evenfd type was introduced back in 2007 in commit
e1ad7468c77d ("signal/timer/event: eventfd core") the eventfd_signal()
function only ever passed 1 as a value for @n. There's no point in
keeping that additional argument.

The eventfd_signal_mask() helper was introduced for io_uring and similar
to eventfd_signal() it always passed 1 for @n. So don't bother with that
argument at all.

This will morph to "true" for what should be an error case.  One option would be
to have eventfd_signal_mask() return 0/-errno instead of the count, but looking
at all the callers, nothing ever actually consumes the result.

KVMGT morphs failure into -EFAULT

	if (vgpu->msi_trigger && eventfd_signal(vgpu->msi_trigger, 1) != 1)
		return -EFAULT;

but the only caller of that user ignores the return value.

	if (vgpu_vreg(vgpu, i915_mmio_reg_offset(GEN8_MASTER_IRQ))
			& ~GEN8_MASTER_IRQ_CONTROL)
		inject_virtual_interrupt(vgpu);

The sample driver in samples/vfio-mdev/mtty.c uses a similar pattern: prints an
error but otherwise ignores the result.

So why not return nothing?  That will simplify eventfd_signal_mask() a wee bit
more, and eliminate that bizarre return value confusion for the ugly stubs, e.g.

void eventfd_signal_mask(struct eventfd_ctx *ctx, unsigned mask)
{
	unsigned long flags;

	/*
	 * Deadlock or stack overflow issues can happen if we recurse here
	 * through waitqueue wakeup handlers. If the caller users potentially
	 * nested waitqueues with custom wakeup handlers, then it should
	 * check eventfd_signal_allowed() before calling this function. If
	 * it returns false, the eventfd_signal() call should be deferred to a
	 * safe context.
	 */
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(current->in_eventfd))
		return;

	spin_lock_irqsave(&ctx->wqh.lock, flags);
	current->in_eventfd = 1;
	if (ctx->count < ULLONG_MAX)
		ctx->count++;
	if (waitqueue_active(&ctx->wqh))
		wake_up_locked_poll(&ctx->wqh, EPOLLIN | mask);
	current->in_eventfd = 0;
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ctx->wqh.lock, flags);
}

You could even go further and unify the real and stub versions of eventfd_signal().

Ewww, that means it did return -ENOSYS before any of this.

Yeah, it used to return an int in the non-eventfd and a __u64 in the
eventfd case.

The reason I didn't make eventfd_signal_mask() return void was that it
was called from eventfd_signal() which did, I didn't realize the caller
didn't actually consume the return value.

If we can let both return void it gets simpler.

Thanks for that.

We have a patch under review which does in fact make use of the

Yes, duplicated, sort of, whatever the "ack" is to allow pushing a new
value can be revised to run as part of the read.

But I don't really view it as a minor difference. eventfd is a
counter. It should not be abused otherwise, even if it can be made to
work.

It really isn't an IRQ if it is pushing an async message w/data.

Sure, userspace could poll on any fd and read a value from it, but at
that point we're essentially duplicating a lot of what eventfd provides
for a minor(?) semantic difference over how the counter value is
interpreted.  Using an actual eventfd allows the ACPI notification to
work as just another interrupt index within the existing vfio IRQ uAPI.

All FDs do this. You just have to make a FD with custom
file_operations that does what this wants. The uAPI shouldn't be able
to tell if the FD is backing it with an eventfd or otherwise. Have the
kernel return the FD instead of accepting it. Follow the basic design
of eg mlx5vf_save_fops

What would that mechanism be?  We've been iterating on getting the
serialization and buffering correct, but I don't know of another means
that combines the notification with a value, so we'd likely end up with
an eventfd only for notification and a separate ring buffer for
notification values.

As this series demonstrates, the current in-kernel users only increment
the counter and most userspace likely discards the counter value, which
makes the counter largely a waste.  While perhaps unconventional,
there's no requirement that the counter may only be incremented by one,
nor any restriction that I see in how userspace must interpret the
counter value.

As I understand the ACPI notification proposal that Grzegorz links
below, a notification with an interpreted value allows for a more
direct userspace implementation when dealing with a series of discrete
notification with value events.  Thanks,

Alex

was posted at the beginig of March and one of the main things we've
discussed was the mechanism for propagating acpi notification value.
We've endup with eventfd as the best mechanism and have actually been
using it from v2. I really do not want to waste this effort, I think
we are quite advanced with v6 now. Additionally we didn't actually
modify any part of eventfd support that was in place, we only used it
in a specific (and discussed beforehand) way.

Yeah, I think so too. The ACPI thing should use its own FD if it wants
to feed actual data..

Huh, thanks for the link.

So the goal is to pipe a specific value through eventfd? But it is
explicitly a counter. The whole thing is written around a counter and
each write and signal adds to the counter.

The consequences are pretty well described in the cover letter of
v6 https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

But isn't this a good indication that you really don't want an eventfd
but something that's explicitly designed to associate specific data with
a notification? Using eventfd in that manner requires serialization,
buffering, and enforces ordering.

I have no skin in the game aside from having to drop this conversion
which I'm fine to do if there are actually users for this btu really,
that looks a lot like abusing an api that really wasn't designed for
this.
