Subject: [PATCH 1/3] lguest: fix sense if IF flag on interrupt injection
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2007 22:11:13 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1184933473.10380.296.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
The sense of the IF bit is backwards in the host interrupt handling.
This means we always save "IF=1" on the stack when injecting an
interrupt. It turns out this is almost always correct (unless the
guest is taking a page fault in an interrupt due to an unpopulated
vmalloc mapping), so went unnoticed.
