Subject: [PATCH 1/2] eventfd: Make wake counter work for single fd instead of all
From: He Zhe <zhe.he@...driver.com>
commit b5e683d5cab8 ("eventfd: track eventfd_signal() recursion depth")
introduces a percpu counter that tracks the percpu recursion depth and
warn if it greater than one, to avoid potential deadlock and stack
overflow.
However sometimes different eventfds may be used in parallel.
Specifically, when high network load goes through kvm and vhost, working
as below, it would trigger the following call trace.

This patch moves the percpu counter into eventfd control structure and
does the clean-ups, so that eventfd can still be protected from deadlock
while allowing different ones to work in parallel.
As to potential stack overflow, we might want to figure out a better
solution in the future to warn when the stack is about to overflow so it
can be better utilized, rather than break the working flow when just the
second one comes.
Fixes: b5e683d5cab8 ("eventfd: track eventfd_signal() recursion depth")

Having searched the lkml, I didn't find the discussion of the aio use case
commit b5e683d5cab8 was added for, so I didn't validate this patch against
it.
