xen: fix xen_qlock_wait()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit a856531 ("xen: make xen_qlock_wait() nestable")
introduced a regression for Xen guests running fully virtualized
(HVM or PVH mode). The Xen hypervisor wouldn't return from the poll
hypercall with interrupts disabled in case of an interrupt (for PV
guests it does).

So instead of disabling interrupts in xen_qlock_wait() use a nesting
counter to avoid calling xen_clear_irq_pending() in case
xen_qlock_wait() is nested.
