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.

Hi,
https://www.kernel.org is either down or very slow for me(based in The Netherlands, Europe).
I do understand this is not the right ML to report this issue, but the contact page doesn't load for
me and as a result I could find the right communication channel.
Cheers,
Pavlos
