[Qemu-devel] ivshmem assertion failure with EventNotifier

[Cam Macdonell]

Hi Paolo,

I've noticed an assertion error when sending interrupts via ivshmem.
I bisected to this patch.

    ivshmem: use EventNotifier and memory API

    All of ivshmem's usage of eventfd now has a corresponding API in
    EventNotifier.  Simplify the code by using it, and also use the
    memory API consistently to set up and tear down the ioeventfds.

tfd: Assertion `i != mr->ioeventfd_nb' failed.  This assertion failure
occurs when the eventfd is triggered.

I'll continue to dig around, but can you explain what this assertion
is catching.  Is there an initialization that might be missing?

Thanks,
Cam
