d3f6f294aeadd5f88caf0155e4360808c95b3146 virtio-blk: always set ioeventfd during startup
When starting ioeventfd it is common practice to set the event notifier
so that the ioeventfd handler is triggered to run immediately. There may
be no requests waiting to be processed, but the idea is that if a
request snuck in then we guarantee that it will be detected.
One scenario where self-triggering the ioeventfd is necessary is when
virtio_blk_handle_output() is called from a vCPU thread before the
VIRTIO Device Status transitions to DRIVER_OK. In that case we need to
self-trigger the ioeventfd so that the kick handled by the vCPU thread
causes the vq AioContext thread to take over handling the request(s).
