The conversion done by commit 3706feacd007 ("KVM: Remove deprecated
create_singlethread_workqueue") is broken.  It flushes a single work
item &amp;irqfd-&gt;shutdown instead of all of them, and even worse if there
is no irqfd on the list then you get a NULL pointer dereference.
Revert the virt/kvm/eventfd.c part of that patch; to avoid the
deprecated function, just allocate our own workqueue---it does
not even have to be unbound---with alloc_workqueue.

The workqueue "irqfd_cleanup_wq" queues a single work item
&amp;irqfd-&gt;shutdown and hence doesn't require ordering. It is a host-wide
workqueue for issuing deferred shutdown requests aggregated from all
vm* instances. It is not being used on a memory reclaim path.
Hence, it has been converted to use system_wq.
The work item has been flushed in kvm_irqfd_release().

The workqueue "wqueue" queues a single work item &amp;timer-&gt;expired
and hence doesn't require ordering. Also, it is not being used on
a memory reclaim path. Hence, it has been converted to use system_wq.

System workqueues have been able to handle high level of concurrency
for a long time now and hence it's not required to have a singlethreaded
workqueue just to gain concurrency. Unlike a dedicated per-cpu workqueue
created with create_singlethread_workqueue(), system_wq allows multiple
work items to overlap executions even on the same CPU; however, a
per-cpu workqueue doesn't have any CPU locality or global ordering
guarantee unless the target CPU is explicitly specified and thus the
increase of local concurrency shouldn't make any difference.

If we don't support a mechanism for bypassing IRQs, don't register as
a consumer.  This eliminates meaningless dev_info()s when the connect
fails between producer and consumer, such as on AMD systems where
kvm_x86_ops-&gt;update_pi_irte is not implemented

We do not want to do too much work in atomic context, in particular
not walking all the VCPUs of the virtual machine.  So we want
to distinguish the architecture-specific injection function for irqfd
from kvm_set_msi.  Since it's still empty, reuse the newly added
kvm_arch_set_irq and rename it to kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic.

Allow for arch-specific interrupt types to be set.  For that, add
kvm_arch_set_irq() which takes interrupt type-specific action if it
recognizes the interrupt type given, and -EWOULDBLOCK otherwise.

The default implementation always returns -EWOULDBLOCK.

The loop(for) inside irqfd_update() is unnecessary
because any other value for irq_entry.type will just trigger

- kvm_arch_irq_bypass_start

They make possible to specialize the KVM IRQ bypass consumer in
case CONFIG_KVM_HAVE_IRQ_BYPASS is set.
