KVM: PPC: Book3S: PR: Fix signal check race
As Scott put it: > If we get a signal after the check, we want to be sure that we don't > receive the reschedule IPI until after we're in the guest, so that it > will cause another signal check. we need to have interrupts disabled from the point we do signal_check() all the way until we actually enter the guest. This patch fixes potential signal loss races. Reported-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
