Xen 4.17 supports the creation of static evtchns. To allow user space application to bind static evtchns introduce new ioctl "IOCTL_EVTCHN_BIND_STATIC". Existing IOCTL doing more than binding that’s why we need to introduce the new IOCTL to only bind the static event channels. Static evtchns to be available for use during the lifetime of the guest. When the application exits, __unbind_from_irq() ends up being called from release() file operations because of that static evtchns are getting closed. To avoid closing the static event channel, add the new bool variable "is_static" in "struct irq_info" to mark the event channel static when creating the event channel to avoid closing the static evtchn. Also, take this opportunity to remove the open-coded version of the evtchn close in drivers/xen/evtchn.c file and use xen_evtchn_close().

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 Restructured Text 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.
