[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 0/2] Add reference counting to grant notify ioctls



> The current notify ioctls assume that an event channel will not be
> closed prior to the page being unmapped. If the mappings are associated
> with an open file descriptor and the application crashes, the
> notification behavior depends on the close ordering of the file
> descriptors. To avoid this, event channels now have a reference count
> that is used by the grant notify ioctls to postpone the close operation
> until the notification is fired.
 
Changes since v1:
        Rename evtchn_get/put to match kernel naming conventions
        Use atomic_t for refcount

[PATCH 1/2] xen/event: Add reference counting to event channel
