If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Igor Mammedov commit d198d499148a0c64a41b3aba9e7dd43772832b91 upstream. If vmalloc page_fault happens inside of interrupt handler with interrupts disabled then on exit path from exception handler when there is no pending interrupts, the following code (arch/x86/xen/xen-asm_32.S:112): cmpw $0x0001, XEN_vcpu_info_pending(%eax) sete XEN_vcpu_info_mask(%eax) will enable interrupts even if they has been previously disabled according to eflags from the bounce frame (arch/x86/xen/xen-asm_32.S:99) testb $X86_EFLAGS_IF>>8, 8+1+ESP_OFFSET(%esp) setz XEN_vcpu_info_mask(%eax) Solution is in setting XEN_vcpu_info_mask only when it should be set according to cmpw $0x0001, XEN_vcpu_info_pending(%eax) but not clearing it if there isn't any pending events.
