This series removes it in favour of a simpler counter scheme, thus getting rid

Hi folks, This patchset adds vhost-blk support. vhost-blk is a in kernel virito-blk device accelerator. Compared to userspace virtio-blk implementation, vhost-blk gives about 5% to 15% performance improvement. Asias He (5): aio: Export symbols and struct kiocb_batch for in kernel aio usage eventfd: Export symbol eventfd_file_create() vhost: Make vhost a separate module vhost-net: Use VHOST_NET_FEATURES for vhost-net vhost-blk: Add vhost-blk support drivers/vhost/Kconfig | 20 +- drivers/vhost/Makefile | 6 +- drivers/vhost/blk.c | 60...
