[PATCH v7 03/12] eventfd: Increase the recursion depth of eventfd_signal()

From: Xie Yongji
Date: Mon May 17 2021 - 05:56:31 EST


Increase the recursion depth of eventfd_signal() to 1. This
is the maximum recursion depth we have found so far, which
can be triggered with the following call chain:

kvm_io_bus_write [kvm]
--> ioeventfd_write [kvm]
--> eventfd_signal [eventfd]
--> vhost_poll_wakeup [vhost]
--> vduse_vdpa_kick_vq [vduse]
--> eventfd_signal [eventfd]
