[RFC PATCH 1/1] fuse: disable local irqs when processing vq completions

[Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>]

The virtqueue completion handler function runs on a work queue and local
irqs are still enabled. There is a race where the completion handler
function grabs the next completed request just before vring_interrupt()
runs. vring_interrupt() sees an empty virtqueue and returns IRQ_NONE,
falsely declaring this interrupt unhandled.

The unhandled irq causes the kernel to disable the irq:

  irq 77: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
  ...
  handlers:
  [<00000000d33eeed7>] vring_interrupt
  Disabling IRQ #77

The driver hangs afterwards since virtqueue irqs are now ignored.

Disable local irqs before calling virtqueue_get_buf() and re-enable them
afterwards so that vring_interrupt() doesn't run during the race window.

I'm not 100% convinced this fixes everything because vring_interrupt()
can still run after our critical section and find the virtqueue empty.
virtqueue_disable_cb() should minimize that but it's only a hint and
there is a small window when the race condition can happen before it's
called.
