[Xen-devel] [PATCH v5 2/6] vpci: fix deferral of long operations

[Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Current logic to handle long running operations is flawed because it
doesn't prevent the guest vcpu from running. Fix this by raising a
scheduler softirq when preemption is required, so that the do_softirq
call in the guest entry path performs a rescheduling. Also move the
call to vpci_process_pending into handle_hvm_io_completion, together
with the IOREQ code that handles pending IO instructions.

Note that a scheduler softirq is also raised when the long running
operation is queued in order to prevent the guest vcpu from resuming
execution.

Changes since v4:
 - Add a comment to clarify defer_map raising a scheduler softirq.
 - Reword commit message.
 - Raise the scheduler softirq in handle_hvm_io_completion rather than
   vpci_process_pending.

Changes since v3:
 - Don't use a tasklet.
