The selftests: kvm: irqfd_test consistently fails across all test platforms since its introduction in Linux next-20250625. The failure occurs due to a KVM_IRQFD ioctl returning errno 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable). This has been observed from day one and is reproducible on all test runs.
Reproducibility: 100% failure on all test platforms since next-20250625..next-20250929
Test fails on the below list * graviton4 * rk3399-rock-pi-4b
## Initial Observations: The test is attempting to register an IRQFD but fails with EAGAIN (errno 11). This likely indicates resource exhaustion or unsupported behavior on affected ARM-based platforms.
Could you please advise on the way forward for this test? Should we treat this as an unsupported case on ARM platforms, or is there a missing implementation/configuration that needs to be addressed?
