Subject: RE: [PATCH 1/7] vfio/pci: Disable auto-enable of exclusive INTx IRQ

> Currently for devices requiring masking at the irqchip for INTx, ie.
> devices without DisINTx support, the IRQ is enabled in request_irq()
> and subsequently disabled as necessary to align with the masked status
> flag. This presents a window where the interrupt could fire between
> these events, resulting in the IRQ incrementing the disable depth twice.
> This would be unrecoverable for a user since the masked flag prevents
> nested enables through vfio.

> Instead, invert the logic using IRQF_NO_AUTOEN such that exclusive INTx
> is never auto-enabled, then unmask as required.
