lguest: fix race in halt code
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When the Guest does the LHCALL_HALT hypercall, we go to sleep, expecting
that a timer or the Waker will wake_up_process() us.

But we do it in a stupid way, leaving a classic missing wakeup race.

So split maybe_do_interrupt() into interrupt_pending() and
try_deliver_interrupt(), and check maybe_do_interrupt() and the
"break_out" flag before calling schedule.
