[Xen-devel] [PATCH 3/3] xen/events: schedule if the interrupted task is in a preemptible hypercall

[David Vrabel <david.vrabel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>

In evtchn_do_upcall(), if the interrupted task was in a preemptible
hypercall add a conditional schedule point.

This allows tasks in long running preemptible hypercalls to be
descheduled.  Allowing other tasks to run and prevents long running
hypercalls issued via the privcmd driver from triggering soft lockups.
