From d5e3f5cbe5cee7fe6da26566559a978547179b37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Ivanov Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2015 11:28:02 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] um: Prevent IRQ handler reentrancy The existing IRQ handler design in UML does not prevent reentrancy This is mitigated by fd-enable/fd-disable semantics for the IO portion of the UML subsystem. The timer, however, can and is re-entered resulting in very deep stack usage and occasional stack exhaustion. This patch prevents this by checking if there is a timer interrupt in-flight before processing any pending timer interrupts.
