[dpdk-stable] patch 'vfio: fix race condition with sysfs' has been queued to LTS release 18.11.9

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 18.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 06/03/20. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue/commit/7deb7d41ace0b9cb9122ade23d5846340a042257

Thanks.

Kevin.

Subject: [PATCH] vfio: fix race condition with sysfs

[ upstream commit b758423bc4fe412941a289f3181849669c02b904 ]

This fix treats a 0 return value from vfio_open_group_fd
in vfio_get_group_fd as the intended error condition instead
of putting an incorrect 0 file descriptor in the vfio_group table.

Sometimes, the creation of device files in sysfs is not
instantaneously causing vfio_open_groupfd to return 0.
This has been observed when hot removing/adding multiple
NVMe devices (>=4).

Fixes: 340b7bb8d583 ("vfio: extend data structure for multi container")
