[ Upstream commit 293fbc28818135743f54d46c418ede3e4a20a742 ]
The mtty driver does not currently conform to the vfio SET_IRQS uAPI.
For example, it claims to support mask and unmask of INTx, but actually
does nothing. It claims to support AUTOMASK for INTx, but doesn't. It
fails to teardown eventfds under the full semantics specified by the
SET_IRQS ioctl. It also fails to teardown eventfds when the device is
closed, leading to memory leaks. It claims to support the request IRQ,
but doesn't.
Fix all these.
A side effect of this is that QEMU will now report a warning:
vfio <uuid>: Failed to set up UNMASK eventfd signaling for interrupt \
INTX-0: VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS failure: Inappropriate ioctl for device
The fact is that the unmask eventfd was never supported but quietly
failed. mtty never honored the AUTOMASK behavior, therefore there
was nothing to unmask. QEMU is verbose about the failure, but
properly falls back to userspace unmasking.

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.
