is never acknowledged.

Okay, the good news is that's the same bug I was able to repro last week. Turns out that CPU1's upcall mask is getting weirdly set under its feet. Since it's waiting on the big kernel lock, which is held by CPU0, which is waiting for acknowledgement of an interrupt in CPU1, we have a deadlock.

Given the problem is in that one changeset, this can't be hard to track down now.

Now fixed in our staging tree. sizeof_vcpu_shift in arch/xen/x86_64/xen_entry.S should be 4, not 3.
