In order to synchronize changes that can affect the thread callback, introduce an interface to force a flush of the inject workqueue. The irqfd pointer is only valid under spinlock, but the workqueue cannot be flushed under spinlock. Therefore the flush work for the irqfd is queued under spinlock. The vfio_irqfd_cleanup_wq workqueue is re-used for queuing this work such that flushing the workqueue is also ordered relative to shutdown.

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.
