Subject: xen/events: don't bind non-percpu VIRQs with percpu chip
From: David Vrabel <[email protected]>
commit 77bb3dfdc0d554befad58fdefbc41be5bc3ed38a upstream.
A non-percpu VIRQ (e.g., VIRQ_CONSOLE) may be freed on a different
VCPU than it is bound to. This can result in a race between
handle_percpu_irq() and removing the action in __free_irq() because
handle_percpu_irq() does not take desc->lock. The interrupt handler
sees a NULL action and oopses.
Only use the percpu chip/handler for per-CPU VIRQs (like VIRQ_TIMER).
