xen: make xen_qlock_wait() nestable
xen_qlock_wait() isn't safe for nested calls due to interrupts. A call of xen_qlock_kick() might be ignored in case a deeper nesting level was active right before the call of xen_poll_irq(): CPU 1: CPU 2: spin_lock(lock1) spin_lock(lock1) -> xen_qlock_wait() -> xen_clear_irq_pending() Interrupt happens spin_unlock(lock1) -> xen_qlock_kick(CPU 2) spin_lock_irqsave(lock2) spin_lock_irqsave(lock2) -> xen_qlock_wait() -> xen_clear_irq_pending() clears kick for lock1 -> xen_poll_irq() spin_unlock_irq_restore(lock2) -> xen_qlock_kick(CPU 2) wakes up spin_unlock_irq_restore(lock2) IRET resumes in xen_qlock_wait() -> xen_poll_irq() never wakes up The solution is to disable interrupts in xen_qlock_wait() and not to poll for the irq in case xen_qlock_wait() is called in nmi context.
