xen/events: Mask a moving irq
Moving an unmasked irq may result in irq handler being invoked on both
source and target CPUs.
With 2-level this can happen as follows:
On source CPU:
evtchn_2l_handle_events() ->
generic_handle_irq() ->
handle_edge_irq() ->
eoi_pirq():
irq_move_irq(data);
/***** WE ARE HERE *****/
if (VALID_EVTCHN(evtchn))
clear_evtchn(evtchn);
If at this moment target processor is handling an unrelated event in
evtchn_2l_handle_events()'s loop it may pick up our event since target's
cpu_evtchn_mask claims that this event belongs to it *and* the event is
unmasked and still pending. At the same time, source CPU will continue
executing its own handle_edge_irq().
With FIFO interrupt the scenario is similar: irq_move_irq() may result
in a EVTCHNOP_unmask hypercall which, in turn, may make the event
pending on the target CPU.
We can avoid this situation by moving and clearing the event while
keeping event masked.
