From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcg...@suse.com> This is my second series which addresses hypercall preemption on Xen. On the first iteration of this series [0] I tried as much as possible to avoid cond_resched() type of behaviour but after good feedback I've determined using something like cond_resched() but on IRQ context is required for preempting Xen hypercalls. This introduces and uses the new cond_resched_irq().
