David Woodhouse 3e9617d63e eventfd: Export eventfd_ctx_do_read()
[ Upstream commit 28f1326710555bbe666f64452d08f2d7dd657cae ]

Where events are consumed in the kernel, for example by KVM's
irqfd_wakeup() and VFIO's virqfd_wakeup(), they currently lack a
mechanism to drain the eventfd's counter.

Since the wait queue is already locked while the wakeup functions are
invoked, all they really need to do is call eventfd_ctx_do_read().

Add a check for the lock, and export it for them.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
